Jezza was beaten by the narrowest of margins over 2m last time but had previously landed a hat-trick over 1m6f at Southwell and Wolverhampton, so this drop back in trip is no problem. He can figure along with a rejuvenated Layla's Dancer, who scored over C&D recently and has his first run for Tony Carroll today. However, GUNSLINGER hinted at a return to form in a much better race here a week ago and this drop in class can see him back to winning ways. Suntrap has scope for improvement, but Profit's Reality and Diamond Twister look up against it.
