JOLLY RED JEANZ (NAP) has a strike-rate of just 2-30 but both victories were gained over this track and trip, the latest of them a year ago from 9lb higher. She's been running well enough on Tapeta over a furlong shorter to suggest she can return to winning ways. Invectus Hero looked to be building towards an imminent victory when a close fourth here early last month then failed to act on Fibresand at Southwell so a return to Polytrack should see a much better display. Arizona Snow landed a minor contest at Southwell before making a bold bid to defy a 6lb rise there a week later but Bold Max hardly ever ventures away from Wolverhampton and gained his only victory there in April from 31 starts. Glenbuck Lass is still a maiden but was staying on over the minimum at Southwell last month.
