Pip Payne's Jawwala gets a good mention earlier on in the day and his North By Northeast looks to have a sound chance of getting off the mark here. Not beaten far by Locombe Hill at Doncaster last time, North By Northeast should go close with Just Ern who runs in a handicap for the first time and is from the flying Pat Haslam stable as his most serious rival. Omey Strand is another to command respect along with Canovas Kingdom.
