Most of these struggle to get their heads in front but that hasn't been a problem lately for TOKYO JAVILEX and last month's course winner, who appears to hold Islandmagee on the form book, can take the step up in trip in his stride to complete the hat-trick. Dropzone started favourite on his latest start at Sedgefield and only found one too good. He races off the same mark and should be thereabouts again but Supreme Bob is proving very one-paced and would have preferred softer ground. Tiquer was only beaten a short-head at Uttoxeter last time but is 5lb higher now and that form isn't working out.
