JUMP CITY has to give 7lb to Dare Me but may be up to the task. He was conceding 16lb to Sublime Talent when only beaten a nose in a novices' handicap over 2m1f at Taunton at the end of last month and has already won over further. Dare Me hasn't done much wrong so far over fences, however, and will be winning soon so Venetia Williams' charge is much preferred to the disappointing Henok. Neither Adrenalin Flight nor Tara Tavey make much appeal either and pointer Bayridge Mick is probably best watched following a lengthy absence.
