MASON JAR (NAP) looks worth sticking with. The latter escapes a penalty having won a conditionals' race over a similar trip at Ascot last week to land a hat-trick and looks the one to beat again. Ramore Will came up short over a longer trip here on his return having won at Plumpton back in May while Bonza Girl showed progressive form in handicaps last season and is fitted with a tongue-tie on her reappearance. Now Look At Me went close at Wincanton recently and can figure racing off the same mark for this while Paseo has placed in both starts over timber and has more scope than the remainder handicapping for the first time.
