Jim Bobs Girl gets the confident vote here with Red Granite, Extra Bold and Sea Saffron rating the main dangers. The selection won with plenty in hand last time out when beating Laying Hen and although having a penalty for that win he still looks ahead of the handicapper and he is taken to win again. Red Granite rates the main danger as he was in front when falling at the last in a race won by Well Saved. If his jumping holds he will be a danger to all. Extra Bold is another that could go well on his latest third behind Arceye but he has had plenty of chances of late off similar marks without taking one. Sea Saffron is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with. Of the remainder, Laudamus hails from a yard in form but looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we return to Jim Bobs Girl who won so well last time out.
