Verdict

The hat-trick seeking Captain Jimmy is the only course and distance winner and would be an obvious starting point if getting a run from his reserve spot. His stable also has top weight Friends N Commerce engaged and his close second here last month has been boosted by another victory for the winner, who had Cher Why Not behind here on Saturday. American Money had shown nothing in maidens but attracted support on his handicap debut over 2m4f here and his stamina proved the key so stepping up in trip should suit. APPIAN WAY found his form in the autumn, completing a quick double with a 25-length victory over 2m5f at Downpatrick. He's joined Gordon Elliott who can exploit what still looks a fair mark, despite a 10lb rise.
