Veteran Jepeck is running well but was beaten six lengths in this grade at Chepstow three weeks ago. Red Risk has to go on the shortlist as he won in a hack canter over course and distance five weeks ago, though is 11lb higher now. Ballybegg won here in December but is hardly consistent while Boothill will need to settle better to last home, though does have some smart form over 2m. Jetaway Joey may need to drop a few pounds to get his head back in front but Irish raider Teescomponentsyess ran well back over hurdles at Fairyhouse. BEAUPORT has climbed the weights without winning but his latest second at Kempton looks the best form on offer in this and Jordan Nailor’s claim will aid his cause. Freedom To Dream was engaged in the 5.30 Cheltenham yesterday.
