In depth

Verdict

Jack's Revenge has claims on his best form but is inconsistent and having his first run since October, while dual Redcar winner Yorksters Prince has finished last on both starts this year. VANILLA RUM is also hard to catch right and was below par here last time having won with plenty in hand over C&D before that. He gets the tentative vote in the hope that today is one of his going days, while the likes of Mad Ginger Alice, McCool Bannanas and Ollon have place claims. Scribe still looks capable of better and it's too soon to write him off yet.
