JACKSON CAGE looks to have the best form here in the shape of a third to Tricksofthetrade at Catterick last month. Henry Brooke's mount gets the nod here though Whistle Me kept on once the penny dropped when fourth to Turbolinas at Sedgefield just over three weeks ago. Sole Survivor was thrown in at the deep end on his introduction at Cheltenham and should do better in time while the pick of the newcomers may be the mare Marina Bay, who is related to several winning bumpers, though she might need the experience here.
