I Was Only Joking and Mr Gent make most appeal of those with a handicap mark. The former has placed over today’s trip on the all-weather and the latter finished third over track and trip back in May. Jurran and Global Melody look likely to improve on the back of modest debut efforts but FORWARD THINKER was narrowly beaten over 7f on the Turf course at Lingfield a fortnight ago and David Simcock’s filly gets the nod on that form.
