Verdict
This looks a tight handicap though Lexington Bay and Jacobs Son have proved best on the Fibresand at Southwell so far. But Rex Whistler scored over track and trip back in October and returns to action off a 5lb higher mark. Two Jabs is another having his first start of the year having won his maiden over course and distance in September but Swing Alone has yet to win over further than 1m2f. SBRAASE has also won over the latter trip but gives the impression today's extra test of stamina will suit and James Tate's charge may come out best after another good effort here last time.
