Jammy Guest is upped in class off a 6lb higher mark as he bids for a hat-trick though he did win with a bit in hand over track and trip last time. Loyalty scored over a mile at Chelmsford last month and seems best at that distance nowadays while Dutiful Son won here in November though could only manage sixth in last year's renewal off a lower mark. A change of trainer seems to have rejuvenated FLECKERL (NAP) and he won at Lingfield a fortnight despite not getting a clear run in the closing stages. He may well defy a 2lb rise and go in again for Conor Dore.
