Astro Jakk beat Aberama Gold and Invincible Larne when popping up at 25/1 at Wolverhampton. He’s completed a double in the past while the consistent Hello Me looks sure to be in the mix again after winning at Newcastle. Fauvette is still improving and won again at Chelmsford last month but MOHAREB (NAP) gets the vote to come out best in a tight contest. The latter missed out by only a short-head in a Class 2 sprint at Lingfield last time and Mick Appleby’s charge is taken to go one better in this lower grade.
