Swansea Jack has a 6lb penalty for last week's victory over 6f here and today's longer trip could prove a problem. The same comment applies to Elegant Muse who has been placed over shorter distances of late, while Kai Mook hasn't raced since June though is weighted to reverse earlier running at this track with Wishformore. Richard Hughes' booking for C&D winner ILIE NASTASE takes the eye and is fancied to take advantage of a lenient-looking mark, though Know No Fear could also figure despite being engaged at Leicester yesterday.
