MUSICAL VALLEY had Our Boy Jack behind when only beaten half-a-length off today's mark over this trip at Chester last Sunday. Tom Dascombe's gelding usually runs his race and the others will have to improve to get the better of the top weight here. Lingfield winner Baltic Fizz has scope, however, while Just Like Heaven may not have been suited by the softer surface at Carlisle last time and is preferred to Fayr Fall of the two Tim Easterby entries. The remainder look opposable.
