Soba Jones is taken to follow up his win over course and distance last week. He is effective in conditions and was due to go down 3lb in future events, so although he has a 6lb penalty, he is really only 3lb higher here. The biggest threat may come from Southern raider C D Flyer, who has a good draw and comes here in good form. Gdansk is running well at present and should make the frame.
