Jack Oliver is taken to score here at the expense of Distant Sunset and Sherjawy. The selection was not totally disgraced on his debut at Goodwood. It was a competitive race and it has already thrown out the odd winner. Jack Oliver ran very green that day and was slow away so with experience now on his side he is one to note. Distant Sunset has not shown anything great in his two races so far and his ability might be limited but this is not as competitive as his other races so he is worth noting in the betting market. As is Sherjawy who although nearer last than first on his debut at Haydock he is open to further improvement. But for the winner we return to Jack Oliver.
