Verdict
ASTRO JAKK (NAP) is proving best on the Fibresand having won three of his five outings here including a defeat of Samovar back in February. Karl Burke’s charge hasn’t raced since June but is still preferred to stablemate Exalted Angel, who also scored over track and trip back in March. Dark Shot is a more recent winner here having beaten Drakefell in August with stable companion Crosse Fire, Aleef and Requited all further behind. He’s subsequently won at Leicester with North Wind well beaten and should be in the mix once again.
