Crosse Fire sets the standard in this off a mark of 70 but is not one to rely on while Jimmy's Hall is also pretty exposed having done most of his racing in France. By contrast, JEBEDIAH SHINE is going the right way and found only one too good at Beverley last time. That looks stronger form than Miss Jonh's placed effort at Wolverhampton so David O'Meara's filly gets the nod. Any interest in the newcomer Trikasana should be noted as this will not take much winning.
