The lightly-raced Jaytee was second in a higher grade at Warwick and Charlie Todd’s claim takes care of a 2lb rise. Legal Rights had a bit in hand at Fontwell on Boxing Day and should make a bold bid to follow up under his penalty while Greenrock Abbey could figure, despite top weight. BRILLIANT PRESENT has been generally progressive and a return to a longer trip should suit. He may have been let in lightly on his handicap debut. Merry Mistress is less well treated but is 2-2 here so can’t be ignored.
