Course winner Football Crazy comes here looking for a four-timer but is 12lb higher than when that run began. The $100,000 purchase Jawwala is hard to assess on the back of two runs and it would be no surprise to see John Dunlop's Royal Approval show improved form. This does not look a particularly strong race. Double Helix is probably better than he showed at Haydock and could also improve.
