Daryl Jacob looks to have picked up a nice ride in this jump jockey's race as BYRON HILL was a convincing winner over the trip at Ffos Las and, though raised 5lb, is only 1lb higher than when landing a Class 3 handicap last year. Stormbreaker also arrives in winning form having just held on over the trip at Kempton and Harry Cobden will ensure he gets a good ride. Planet Legend has been placed in five of six starts and should be suited by stepping up in trip under Aidan Coleman while Singing The Blues won a lady amateurs' race over the trip at Ffos Las and should provide Rex Dingle with a good ride. Blame It On Sally, a course and distance winner last August, came good again at Kempton last month and is partnered byTom Cannon.
