JINKY has recorded four of his six wins so far at this venue including last year’s running of this race. He was making his seasonal debut last year so Linda Perratt’s charge is expected to go close again. Chookie's Lass has not won since 2014 but went close over 5f at Southwell on her reappearance. Giant Spark is less exposed having finished fourth at Thirsk recently ahead of Jebel Tara and Kenny The Captain occupied the same finishing position in a separate division of the same handicap at Thirsk.
