It usually pays to stick with horses that show a particular liking for this surface. JACK'S REVENGE did just that when leaving his previous form behind to win his maiden over C&D last week. He beat Three Opera Divas by over three lengths and should confirm the form despite the worse terms. Third-placed Ace Master gave the form a boost by winning here on Tuesday when he had Come On Eileen well behind once again, while Reachforthebucks is best watched making his all-weather debut after three modest efforts on turf last year.
