Jammy Moment had a run under her belt before winning last year’s renewal off a similar mark and COMPETENT is preferred. He remains lightly-raced and should have room for improvement stepping up in trip after three placed efforts on the all-weather this year. Merchant Of Dubai won here in 2014 but has not scored since while Dry Your Eyes remains 8lb higher than her only win to date in the same year. Frosty The Snowman’s win at Southwell last month was his only success in 27 attempts to date and the remaining pair are even harder to fancy.
