Cillian's Well comfortably held off Anton Dolin, a dual course winner here, at Stratford but that’s earned him a penalty and he may not be entirely straightforward. After a victory two weeks ago, JIGSAW FINANCIAL has now won four times here. The 11-year-old has gone up 8lb but Tommy Dowling’s claim is worth 3lb and Laura Young’s veteran may well continue his love affair with the track. Sporty Yankee has disappointed since making a winning debut while Astrum was tailed off on his first run for Phil Middleton. Theo would appreciate any rain on his first start for Richard Newland.
