Back in novice company after completing a hat-trick in a handicap at Aintree in June, FATHER OF JAZZ should have few problems extending his winning run. Carrigeen Kampala receives 7lb but couldn’t complete his four-timer at Stratford last time and is rated 14lb lower than the selection. The others will probably be playing for places.
