Springheel Jake defied unfavourable terms to win a claimer at Carlisle last time. He has a shout back in a handicap company with an apprentice's 7lb allowance helping his cause but PARTY ROYAL is the more obvious selection. The latter went close to catching Lord Of The Dance in better company at Haydock a week ago and can race off the same mark today. The selection's stablemates Corn Snow and Declamation were both beaten in different races at Newmarket last time and the former drops in class today while Another For Joe also has a shout ahead of the out-of-sorts Viva Ronaldo.
