Havana Jack won in a lesser grade at Perth but holds Miss Biscotti on that run. Strong Resemblance fell at Perth but still has scope over fences. QUICK BREW only beat Oscar O'scar a length-and-a-quarter at Sedgefield and is 2lb worse off but, with confidence, restored, Maurice Barnes’ charge may well confirm the form and follow up here. Border Breaker is best watched at present and so is Present Lodger, who has a lengthy absence to overcome, so Bocasien Desbois may be best of the rest.
