Jarvo, Royal Flynn and Rio are the three for the shortlist here, with Jarvo taken to resume winning ways. Twice a winner at Warwick last season, Royal Flynn was a staying on third at Nottingham on his re-appearance. That was an eye-catching run and he can go well here, although the handicapper has penalised his consistency. Rio has some good Irish form to his credit, and although he disappointed last time at Wolverhampton, he had run well to be placed there previously, and this return to turf may suit him. After winning small races at Yarmouth and Wolverhampton, Jarvo had to settle for the runners-up spot at Kempton last time. He is consistent and despite creeping up the handicap, this is a race low on quality and Jarvo can make it three out of four.
