A race to keep stakes to a minimum with Assumetheposition, Jet Magic and Thrilling Prospect likely to be toward the head of the market and it is to Jet Magic that we offer our selection. Alan King's charge is still a maiden under rules but he gave the impression that he'll be a stone better on a decent surface and having finished a fair second on sticky going at Chepstow, today is a question of whether the handicapper has got it right. Much of Assumetheposition's better form is with cut in the ground; that said a trip of two miles four furlongs is very much in his favour. Thrilling Prospect had been running well up to his latest start. Pebble Bay has few miles on the clock for a ten-year-old and comes here in good heart having won at lesser levels. Day Du Roy would be of interest if returning to his former glories during his Jonjo O'Neill days. Hold The Pin stages a raid from the Emerald Isle for Tony Martin while Jordan's Ridge reverts from chasing to hurdling. Jet Rules is most open to improvement and secures only the most tentative of selections.
