THE JAM MAN has dotted up the last twice and it's anybody's guess as to how long his winning run will continue. Aidan Coleman gets a lovely tune out of the McNally inmate and it's best to row in with him until beaten, although this does look a stronger contest than those landed recently The Drone has been raised a total of 9lb for his last two successes but he's a doughty battler who is expected to reveal his best once again. He should be in the mix along with another consistent performer in Sporting Boy, a winner here in the past and performing as solidly as ever this term. Cottonvale is 1lb out of the handicap but has definite each-way claims all the same.
