This looks tricky with all four recent winners drawn high. But Dane O'Neill could afford to ease down BE ROYALE in the closing stages when scoring at Yarmouth last time and she's taken to go in again despite a 6lb rise. Space War carries a penalty for his cosy win at Thirsk and Mercers Row went close off today's mark at Carlisle having won at the same track before that. Jacbequick looked much improved when starting 40/1 and making a winning comeback over track and trip. But it was heavy ground on that occasion and it remains to be seen if he can reproduce that on today's surface.
