Jackie Love and Blueberry Fizz are regulars in this grade but rarely win and Mack's Sister makes more appeal as she posted a much better effort at Kempton on her latest start. Lisselton Cross has bits of form that could see him figure though has a couple of lengths to find with Dixie Gwalia on running at this track last month but REGINALD CLAUDE has dropped 15lb since the start of the season. He was beaten a length when third over 7f here last time and gets the token vote.
