Though raised a further 2lb since failing to complete the hat-trick at Beverley, JAMIL still looks fairly treated and should go close to recouping losses if handling this quicker surface. The Navigator has won his last two over hurdles and has been successful here in the past so looks the pick of Dianne Sayer’s two runners ahead of Millie The Minx. Let Her Loose is back on a winning mark while Whitwell hinted that his turn wasn’t far away again at Thirsk.
