Inigo Jones has been a reformed character of late and is taken to complete a hat trick at the main expense of Sharmy and Harik. The last mentioned blotted his copybook when unseating his rider at Huntingdon last month but Gary Moore's gelding has to be respected on the pick of his form. The Ian Williams-trained Sharmy won that Huntingdon race but has more to do now off a 5lb higher mark and preference is for Inigo Jones. The eight-year-old put some disappointing efforts behind him when landing a handicap at Hereford last month in decisive fashion and followed up over course and distance recently. A further 2lb rise for that seems fair and Inigo Jones is taken to win again. Jupon Vert looked a shade unlucky when second at Taunton on Friday, stumbling badly after jumping the last. Ron Hodges gelding has claims but may find this coming too quick for him. Fontwell winner Bill Owen looks the best of the remainder in a race that is taken to go to Inigo Jones.
