Jo'Burg is 7lb higher than when winning this last year and stablemate Ingleby Angel has a couple of lengths to find with KARAKA JACK on recent form at Thirsk. The latter finished runner-up on that occasion and can go one better racing off the same mark today. Hakuna Matata has something to find with the selection on collateral form while Beverley winner Declamation is facing a tougher task in this despite having been raised only 2lb. Eeny Mac is up 6lb for winning an amateurs' race over track and trip last time while Kiwi Bay and Kuwait Star disappointed on their latest starts having gone very close before that.
