NOBLE JACK landed a double at this track during the summer. Dropped in class today with headgear applied for the first time, Jo Hughes charge gets the nod. Classic Colori ran poorly when tried at this level in November and Desert Vision makes more appeal as he's won twice here in similar company. Better is expected from Dunn'o back at this level and Sir George has claims if running up to his best.
