Jane Jubilee will be a warm order here and get our vote ahead of Diction and Princely Vale. The Mark Johnston-trained selection runs here under a penalty after winning easily at Catterick eight days ago. She certainly looked to be on the up in gaining that success and looks set to run a big race again. Princely Vale has won three of his last four races, including in claiming company at Brighton two runs ago. He also ran reasonably from today's mark in handicap company last time and holds place claims today. Diction is lightly raced and has been tried at a low level so far but has won two of his four starts, admittedly in modest all-weather affairs. Premier Times won a Ripon seller on soft last time but this is tougher while, much as Brace Of Doves has an eight pounds turnaround with the selection, we favour Mark Johnston's runner to come out on top again.
