Jonah Jones has been threatening to land a decent sprint handicap for two or three seasons now but the need for exaggerated waiting tactics continue to make him a frustrating proposition. He may well be best served conceding weight in this smaller field and it would not surprise were he to go well stepping up to a seventh furlong. Inveigle has improved race-by-race this season and scored with something to spare at Yarmouth. He's interesting but is up 6lb for that success and now tackles his elders for the first time. No Nonsense was much better latest and needs to repeat that here to contend but DULAS still looks to be progressing at the age of four and trip and conditions should really suit the Hills four-year-old.
