JONAH'S CRUISING is selected ahead of Josiah Bartlett and Hold The Bucks whilst any support for Liberty Beau would clearly be of interest. Jim Boyle's filly was just run out of things over a mile at Southwell on her latest start when in front of Braishfield Lass but that was a fair effort in the context of this race. She had previously won a polytrack claimer for another yard so should have no problems running up to her best at this circuit; a reproduction of which would give her leading claims. Josiah Bartlett is a shade more exposed but comes into this contest on the back of a fair performance at Kempton in handicap company and the pick of his form suggests that he should be a factor here. Hold The Bucks ran as well as could have been expected in a claimer last time and has more realistic claims of claiming the top prize in this company. Liberty Beau makes some appeal on paper and would be of definite interest if attracting market support having recently failed to sell through the ring so keep a close eye on him but we'll stick with Jonah's Cruising for the time being.
