Caribbean Coral resumed winning ways in good fashion at Chepstow last time but this looks tougher off his 6lb higher mark and preference is for The Jobber, who is taken to bounce back to winning ways at the main expense of Fictional. The selection probably found the conditions too testing at York last time and should be better suited by today's faster conditions so he may be worth another chance. If Paradise has been highly tried of late but is on a long losing sequence and is strictly held by Cape Royal on running last time anyway. Cape Royal looks the pick of Milton Bradley's three runners ahead of Peopleton Brook and Enchantment and he has to be respected. Fictional is a consistent performer and should be thereabouts again but preference is for The Jobber, who is taken to resume winning ways.
