Global Jackpot has been found simple opportunities to complete a hat-trick for which he carries the maximum penalties and will find this much tougher. Captain Peacock won a couple of minor races over this track and trip before just failing to concede 7lb to Francky Du Berlais at Worcester. His young rider's claim should aid his cause here but MYSTICAL CLOUDS looks the one to be on. Alan King's charge has yet to win in four outings but looked like scoring when tackling 2m5f at Warwick only to fade close home. His allowances can see him lose his maiden tag though Forget Me Knot is interesting on her hurdling debut as she looked one to follow when landing a Southwell bumper in good style.
