Lightly-raced on the Flat for one of his age, JACKBLACK justified notable market support over course and distance a week ago when always looking in control of the contest from a long way out. The claim of Rossa Ryan offsets the vast majority of his penalty for that success and a follow-up looks on the cards. He does look the type with more to offer at this sort of level. Penny Poet also has few miles on the clock and has suggested she's perfectly capable of landing a lowly handicap off her current mark. She came home a close third at Brighton after a considerable break and Adam Kirby has been booked. She should certainly be in the shake-up. General Brook and Hong Kong Joe receive considerable weight from the aforementioned pair and recent form puts them in with a shout.
