Powerful Society and Ventura Dragon have both won handicaps in testing going with the former raised 4lb for scoring at Carlisle last month. Jazeel has been upped 5lb for finishing second on his handicap bow at Kempton but the handicapping newcomers make more appeal. Adams Park has placed over a mile before and the consistent BAILEYS EXCELERATE finished well clear of the rest when finding only one too good over 1m2f at Kempton last time. He’s fancied to make another bold bid in this and gets the nod.
