Daaweitza gets a narrow vote in a trappy looking affair, Flipando and Jubilee Street are also worth a mention. Brian Ellison's charge displayed tremendous courage to get the better of a competitive field at Musselburgh last time out. He has only been lifted three pounds by the handicapper and against mostly out of form rivals he could follow up today. Flipando wasn't beaten far in a better race at York last week and if none the worse for the exertions, he should play a major role. Jubilee Street may be an eight-year-old but there is still plenty of ability there, and he will improve for a recent run out at Warwick. The rest do appear to be in the doldrums at present, but it would be no surprise to see either Capricorn Blue or Langford suddenly return to form. However you cannot fault the recent vicory of Daaweitza and he is taken to follow up this afternoon.
