Verdict
It's difficult to make a strong case for any of these and JEHANBUX rates no more than a speculative selection. The only three-year-old in the field, the Sandown maiden winner should be capable of better this year and Richard Hughes prefers him to stablemate First Cat. The latter's losing run stretches back to 2009 now, while Moynahan has won just once since his two-year-old days. Mujood has won six times here but over no further than a mile and Flipping has done all his winning on slow ground. Kavachi and Potentiale are both 2lb higher than last season's sole victories and Constant Contact hasn't been seen the track since a couple of tame efforts over 1m2f last summer.
