Jurisdiction is making his debut over the larger obstacles but doesn't look badly treated on his best form over hurdles and is nor forlorn hope here. Soft Spoken Guy was biting off more than he could chew in a Grade 2 at Ayr last time but won easily at Kelso the time before and can't be ignored. But Aytach Sadik has transformed INDIAN PIPE DREAM since the turn of the year and he showed his Doncaster win to be no fluke when following up at Fakenham next time - a hat-trick beckons getting plenty of weight from his two rivals.
