JACKDAY can come out on top in division two of this handicap and he gets our nomination over Simple Jim and Dazzling Begum. Tim Easterby is in good form at present and Jackday can provide him with another winner. He finished narrowly behind Mystified at Pontefract last time so he could give the form a big boost in division one of this handicap. He should be suited by this drop in trip and he also looks to be on a fair mark. Simple Jim is chasing the hat-trick but he has been all-out to score on his last two starts and he looks to have more on his plate this afternoon. Dazzling Begum could only finish in mid-division at Wolverhampton last week but this longer trip should suit and she might be capable of claiming some prize money. They All Laughed has yet to prove himself over this trip and we are happy to take him on. Blue Jet ran well last time and is another to consider, but for the winner we will stick with Jackday.
