JABBAROCKIE arrives in the best form having won over the minimum trip at Haydock with a bit to spare just three days ago and can defy a penalty in this company. Primo's Comet has a more difficult task on the back of winning at Newcastle last month but Fool For You has a shout on her earlier second at Chester. Rumshak went close at Musselburgh last summer and should be sharper for last month’s comeback. He’s undergone wind surgery since while Batten The Hatches still looks high enough in the weights.
