Jake The Snake comes out best at the weights but is hard to predict and Riflessione finished ahead of him in a similar race when runner-up over C&D in March. The latter was engaged to run at Kempton yesterday, however, and it remains to be seen if he takes part so the vote goes the way of CHJIMES. He has a bit to find on today's terms but won a lowly handicap here in good style last time and makes more appeal than February's Kempton winner Zip Lock, who was tailed off at Wolverhampton on his latest start.
