Verdict
It's rare that a collection of such unreliable type are drawn together for the sake of competition and bare minimum stakes play is recommended with Sundried Tomato, who is fancied to uphold his form with Union Jack Jackson; while Time N Time Again and Laurel Dawn would pose some serious problems if they decided to put in maximum effort today. Laurel Dawn being one in particular that needs plenty of coaxing along in his races. Jimmy Quinn, who managed to get the best out of him Southwell earlier in the month, is back in the saddle and it may be noteworthy is any support arrives for the partnership in the betting ring. Time N Time Again shows flashes of occasional ability and, as he has been good money spinner for his connections over the years, is worth a second look today. He is effective at this course and is a solid option for each-way backers to consider. Union Jack Jackson is holding his form well at present. and has really appreciated dropping back to sprint distances. However, he was readily held by Sundried Tomato when they met here last month and it will take a good effort from him to reverse the form on these revised terms.
