With the benefit of a recent run, Kelso winner Havana Jack could make his presence felt but has no form on ground this heavy. Nick Alexander holds a strong hand as he saddles The Orange Rogue and Titian Boy. Both ended last season in good form but the top weight is preferred as he'll handle conditions better than most. But he has nothing in hand on NAKADAM on their run together here back in January when the latter was beaten just over a length conceding 2lb. Harry Hunt has run on the Flat since last seen over fences but his losing run now stretches back almost two years.
