Jadeeron is the pick over Emperor Cat, with Abbeygate, Aggi Mac and Cotton Easter just a few more to mention. Jadeeron is out to get the losses back after being turned over at Kempton eight days ago, but that was over two miles. He appeared to be going best of all with two furlongs to go, so hopefully this drop back in trip will prove to be the answer. Emperor Cat was runner-up in a seller at Chepstow in September and a similar run should see him involved in the finish, while Abbeygate needs to recapture his form from earlier on in the season. Aggi Mac will improve for the run and Cotton Easter is inconsistent, so basically this is not an event to get too heavily involved in, with a small vote going to Jadeeron.
