Jayanjay is in great heart at the moment and cannot be opposed, Special Lad and Hurricane Coast are also expected to run well. The selection made it two wins in a row when beating Solar Power at Brighton last time. He won with something in hand that day and he could still be one step ahead of the handicapper. Hurricane Coast bounced back to winning form at Yarmouth last week, comfortably beating Morgan Lewis. a similar effort today should see him in the shake up. Special Lad however could be the main danger having easily accounted for Hewaraat at Folkestone last month. Top-weight Zowington can also be expected to go close, but Jayanjay is at the top of his form and can land the hat-trick.
