Verdict
This is easier than Georgian Bay’s recent tasks but Able Jack failed to cope with a 5lb rise last time having won at Chelmsford earlier. Kreb's Cycle is upped 4lb for winning at Lingfield where he beat the inconsistent Bristol Missile and the latter has since run poorly at Kempton. THA’IR scored over a longer trip here last month and went close again off today’s mark last week. Mick Appleby’s charge gets the nod in his current form ahead of Rock Icon given the latter is upped in class today.
