The Jay Factor is overdue a change of fortune and edges a slender vote of confidence from Tipsy Prince and the unexposed Orchestrator, who was not given a hard time when his chance had gone at Folkestone last month. The winner of that race may prove to be useful, so Terry Mill's charge may be leniently treated from a mark of 73 for this handicap debut. The son of Docksider has a good draw and, as he likes to race with the pace, he would be dangerous if allowed an easy lead. Tipsy Prince has been consistent for David Pinder and is versatile regarding his best trip. However, he does appear best with some give underfoot, so it remains to be seen how he will cope with this surface. A move for Proper would also be noteworthy, as he is on a fair mark and he makes the most appeal from the remainder. However, The Jay Factor a solid recent profile and, with the step up in trip sure to suit, the Pat Eddery-trianed gelding is fancied to be seen to better effect here. This trip looks a logical step for him after a couple of near misses and the son of Bold fact make the most appeal as a betting proposition in a tricky contest to get to grips with.
