Amadeus Rox and Jumping Jack are already starting to look a little exposed but the former's Wetherby conqueror didn't run badly at the same track on Friday. SPEEDO BOY never threatened the first two on debut at Chepstow last month but this looks a much easier task for the dual Flat winner and he'll have learned from that initial experience. Richard Fahey's Keepup Kevin won over a mile on the Flat but may have problems staying this far.
