JAZZ ended his first campaign with a victory on soft ground at Doncaster. He's been competing with credit at a higher level this season and should be up to this. Taquka beat three rivals at Lingfield in February but has found one too good in six of his remaining seven starts. Piazon looks a threat as he was a comfortable winner in similar grade at Yarmouth before taking on better company at York. Desert Ace scored at Sandown last term and was well out of his grade there last time so this looks more like it. Grecian will be racing on ground with some give for the first time but has the form in the book to get involved if taking to the surface and Amahoro ran quite well at Haydock on Friday.
