AQUILONIUS can confirm recent running with Jack Who's He and follow-up his recent victory over C&D. 4lb higher today. The three-year-old is just preferred to veteran Red Somerset, who usually runs his race at this level and should be in the firing-line again. Tuscania hasn't won since her debut in 2010 and looks no nearer winning while The Happy Hammer is high enough in the weights at present. However, the handicapper has given Irish import Fairy Wing a chance dropping him 6lb after a couple of defeats in claimers.
