Verdict

SONOFAGUN ran well attempting to land a hat trick when second at Newton Abbot last Saturday. He's dropped in class for this quick reappearance and can go one better. Jack The Gent is looking to make the most of a tumble down the weights and showed signs of a resurgence when runner-up at Doncaster last time. He looks the main threat with Hazy Tom still seemingly in the handicappers grip and Kings Grey arriving out of form. Uncle Tom Cobley has joined a new yard but is 7lb higher than his win at Ballinrobe nearly a year ago and Fiftyonefiftyone is even harder to fancy.
