Marko Jadeo has the form to land this handicap at the expense of Midnite Blews and Lord Desert. The selection is only one pound higher for winning at Lingfield last time out and has been in good form all year this season. He looks well treated on some of his from of two seasons ago and therefore is a horse to stay on the right side of. Midnite Blews is another to look out for as he was a course and distance winner on his penultimate start but was unable to follow up at Brighton two days later. He runs off the same mark again today and as a previous course winner he is treated with respect. Lord Desert was a winner on the all weather during the winter but has failed to trouble the judge of late and will have to show more improvement to rival the selection. So for the winner we return to Marko Jadeo.
