Jebel Tara has won four handicaps since the middle of last month and will be looking for victory number 12 of his career. However, he only had two lengths to spare over ORTAC ROCK in a Carlisle handicap last month and the latter is 13lb better off so should turn the tables and land this. Jacob's Pillow has been competing at a much higher level since landing a Yarmouth handicap last summer while Tango Sky, just denied in a handicap at Ripon on Saturday, has a very fair strike-rate and has been in good form this summer. New Lease Of Life has gained two of his three career victories on the track so he's another to consider in an open claimer.
