Verdict
Jim Job Jones is on a hat-trick after easy wins at Worcester and Southwell but the change in going is a genuine cause for concern, as is an 11lb higher mark. Monty's Revenge may need this and is hard to catch right but there are possibilities about What A Good Night, having his first run for Dan Skelton, as he won off an 8lb higher mark at Stratford a year ago. Along with the latter, BISHOPHILL JACK (NAP) was pulled up at Chepstow in April but went on to do much better on easier going at Towcester. Conditions are in his favour again and, as he's won off much higher marks in the past, Caroline Bailey's gelding gets the nod here getting 7lb from Plumpton specialist Ballyvoneen.
