Jered Maddox gained his fourth track success last month for which a 3lb rise looks manageable. Leclerc is in excellent form and defied a 6lb rise for an earlier victory to beat Jazzy Dancer with a bit in hand though the latter will be 4lb better off. Knocknakilla, who started favourite, never got close but was staying on and probably needs another furlong. SELECTIVE POWER came with a late run to catch in-form stable companion Linus Larrabee here in November. That was only his fifth start so, with improvement likely, he's taken to complete a double.
