Carlow Farmer was only beaten a length reverting to hurdles at Haydock but he is not easy to catch right and Ascot runner-up JAZZ KING is probably the one to beat if lasting home on his first try over 3m. His Oscar was still beaten a distance when second at Worcester and stamina can’t be guaranteed with Jet Of Magic but Manothepeople is a possibility.
