Brave Jaq stayed on strongly at Stratford to record a first victory under Rules but is taking on better opposition here. Marinero won at Ascot around this time last year and has come up against the useful Road To Rome twice at Ludlow this season but RISK A FINE is just preferred. He’s won between the flags and over fences this year under James King and was up against a decent hunter in Monsieur Gibraltar last time at Fakenham. Master Sunrise looks to have plenty to find on these terms.
