With an eye-catching jockey Jade Star is taken to land this weak-looking seller back on a surface he prefers. The distance is a slight question mark though he should have too much for these rivals if settling better than in his last race at Wolverhampton. Course and distance winner Curragh Gold sprung a surprise last time out when winning at 25/1. This race is not much tougher so he should be there or thereabouts. That win came on a slow surface and with the going likely to be Standard he could struggle. Tough Nut has been running well without winning and he has chances here against what is a moderate field. A market move for him would be a plus point.
