Little Jazz looks sure to be winning soon though her recent second on this surface wasn't as good an effort as her previous third in a better race on the Polytrack. Ad Value has scope for improvement especially as his trainer gets plenty of winners here, but West Leake Melody was beaten a long way when runner-up at this track last time. GERONIMO CHIEF won over C&D in November and though he's 6lb higher today, Ben Haslam's charge is dropped in class and he gets the vote freshened up after break.
