    Verdict

    Canterbury Jack was a good second behind Paco Venture on his first run for Martin Pipe at Worcester and he need only reproduce that effort to score. Diletia looks the only danger he was a good second behind After The Blue at Huntingdon last time out but he was sent off the odds on favourite on that occasion and did not look the most straight forward of rides. Desert Traveller and High Drama need to improve on all known form to score.
