The Jugopolist has won twice over course and distance this season, beating the luckless Copperfacejack on the first occasion. But he’s 8lb higher than when successful in January and prefers some give in the ground. D'nailor bolted up at Fakenham last time but was put up 10lb for that and is not exactly reliable. KAPGARDE KING has his sights lowered again after finishing fourth at Exeter. A winner in this grade over track and trip in December, he won’t mind the surface and is probably a cut above the majority of these.
