PYJAMA GAME is difficult to oppose here. Rose Dobbin's charge finished runner-up at Mussleburgh to the promising Jukebox Melody on his recent debut and, with improvement expected, this contest looks his for the taking. With Civil Unrest well beaten by Felix Yonger on last month's debut and Crosstek pulled-up on his, the biggest threat to the selection could come from a newcomer. That could prove to be Marlee Mourinho, who is a half-brother to bumper and hurdle winner Lambrini Legend and should give a good account.
