Jamih, tried in a visor here, won off a higher mark last year at Thirsk but remains out of sorts. Desert Quest’s form this season has also left much to be desired but he is a previous winner here, as is LINCOLN ROCKSTAR (NAP). Placed twice over 1m4f this year, the latter’s turn may have come around again. Bamboo Bay has been thereabouts in recent outings and may be the danger, though Merrijig and Assembled both only found one too good last time.
