It's almost two years since BOMBER JACKSON last won a race but he's dropped to an attractive mark and was running well enough when last seen in December so gets the vote to defy a three-month break. Cristy's Call is another on a long losing run but did well to chase home Ligeti over slightly shorter last time, with Free State only just behind, and the pair look certain to get involved. King Christophe is up 5lb for beating Ligeti last week so he's another with realistic claims and though Trump Card has yet to win he hasn't been beaten far in his last two starts and it shouldn't be long before he loses that maiden tag.
