This looks between GALWAY JACK and Open Hearted. The latter is in much better form than when beaten by the former at Wetherby in February and has won at the same track subsequently but the selection is still preferred. He wasn’t at his best when runner-up here last month but will take the beating if allowed his own way in front. The remainder look up against it on these terms with Crazy Jack probably the best of them having tumbled down the weights.
