MOLKO JACK has the best recent form having finished third at Southwell last month and a repeat should be enough to land this modest contest. Big George has a shout on his earlier second at Perth but Cara Court has been well beaten in a couple of subsequent starts since winning at Cartmel in August. Around A Pound went close here at the start of the year but it's difficult to make a case for Gainsborough's Art.
