Jump The Gun won over track and trip last month when ahead of SECRET GUEST but the latter reversed running when beaten less than a length in a higher grade sprint back here. The unexposed Solray also finished behind the selection but Haziym finished in front of fourth-placed Illusionist when only beaten a neck last time. Dickieburd went close at Wolverhampton with Clipsham La Habana back in fifth while Al Ameen arrives in good form and is another to consider.
