Arbourfield's victory two weeks ago could be given a boost in the previous race and a 5lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big effort. NO WAY JACK has a strike-rate of 1-32 and has yet to win on the all-weather. But he didn't do much wrong when just failing to catch Full Shilling last time so this could be his night he doubles his tally. Shabra Emperor is just 3lb higher than when successful here in November and wasn't beaten far on his next start last month. He should get into contention but Palavicini Run appears better on Turf as he's yet to finish in the first two on this track. Tom Dooley is always capable of popping up in this sort of company and is just 2lb higher than his last victory.
