Nick Kent is finally getting a tune out of REVEREND JACOBS with the bottom weight following up a win at Wetherby with a short-head defeat at Fakenham. A 6lb rise has done him no favours but there are also questions marks hanging over most of the others. Lady Of The Night is 0-7 but has placed twice around here since her attentions were turned to hurdling. Pawpaw easily won a Southwell maiden last month and is also interesting while Grouseman could figure if forgiven a poor run at Wetherby last time.
