Jepeck has a choice of several engagement this weekend but has been in fine form this season, winning twice over hurdles and once over fences. But it’s difficult to get away from RAMSES DE TEILLEE after his demolition job in the Grade 2 River Don at Doncaster, where he never looked like being reeled in by his pursuers. Kalooki has won a maiden at Ludlow and a novice event at Wetherby with the proverbial ton in hand and is less exposed while Chepstow scorer Port Of Mars is preferred to Overthetop of Olly Murphy’s two recent winners. The Ferry Master may find this company too hot to handle.
