Zero Visibility appears to have lost the plot. Petit Ecuyer races from out of the handicap again but is thrown in on his best form and is a previous course winner. Castletown was third over a longer trip here last time but the blinkers would need to work a second time. Bredon Hill Lad needs further than this and is hard to catch right so the vote goes to JAUNTY INFLIGHT, who has shown enough at Uttoxeter and Chepstow this season to suggest a race like this should be within his compass.
