Broctune Red is 5-21 around here and capable of winning again judging by last week's neck defeat when headed close home. Jewel Maker last won a year ago from a 1lb higher mark but is reasonably consistent, though his rider is the least experienced here. Dark Company looked one to follow when a close second at Wolverhampton and a winner at Southwell but ran poorly when favourite at Kempton 10 days ago. Shuv H'Penny King is taking time to find his best form this campaign but did better at Southwell and has generally performed at a higher level but the vote goes to MORJHANA. Still a maiden, Richard Fahey's filly has dropped to a winnable mark and would have gone very close at Southwell on Friday with a clear run.
