Runner-up at Kempton last week, Juan Horsepower returns to 6f but his earlier win came over the minimum trip. Cappananty Con is upped 6lb for winning a lowly Class 6 sprint at Wolverhampton but JACK FLASH went close at Newcastle last time when ahead of third-placed Arzaak. The former won a maiden over track and trip before that and looks capable of scoring again off his current mark. Giennah won at Wolverhampton earlier but never figured off today’s higher mark back in September and Drop Kick Murphi looks high enough in the weights now.
