Jamarjo has three Polytrack victories to his credit and has no problem with the trip as we saw at Doncaster last month where he scored over 2m1f on testing ground. ALSADAA has scored twice over the C&D, however, though that was in early 2010. He'd been off the track since October and racing over a trip much too short at Lingfield last month and with that under his belt should be good enough for this. Frederick William gained the only success of his career over the C&D in March but has struggled from his new mark subsequently while Taikoo has run very poorly recently though in much better company on Turf. Twice Bitten has only run once at this trip where he was a very disappointing beaten favourite at Yarmouth.
