Dual course winner Where's Jeff is inconsistent these days but has won from higher marks than this while Crownthorpe gained the seventh victory of his career at Carlisle and is still on a fair mark. Yaaser has been in cracking form on the fast ground and stepped into this class to complete a double at Doncaster while EMPIRESTATEOFMIND also won in this grade at Thirsk and Ryan Sexton's claim negates a 5lb rise. Tilsitt is in excellent shape having scored with a bit to spare at Ayr while Wilkins easily landed the odds in a Pontefract maiden. Glam De Vega was also an odds-on maiden winner at Ripon and should make a bold bid on his handicap debut.
