Black Kettle jumped well when runner-up to Roxyfet here 11 days ago and any improvement on that will make him hard to beat. John Williams is probably best at Musselburgh but Havana Jack goes well fresh and has had wind surgery since last seen in action. Kitty Fisher could run into a place again and Flying Jack attracted market support here last month. A stablemate of the latter, QUICK BREW is a little quirky but more than capable of landing a race like this with a clear round.
