Jiroft has disappointed since finishing third at Southwell on New Year's Day but he looks the pick of Robert Cowell's pair in this. Elusivity and Fair Value were second and third respectively at Epsom last month and that bodes well over this equally sharp 5f. Pal Of The Cat won here in August and on his reappearance at Windsor and looks to be on the upgrade but KYLEAKIN LASS would probably have won this last year had she had more luck in-running. She's only a pound higher and, though third Fair Value is 7lb better off for a length-and-a-half, can go one better after a promising reappearance at Newbury. Long Awaited is speedy but may need this.
