As trappy a race as you could wish to find. RIDGEWAY JAZZ will do for us and is taken to get the better of willing veterans Hurricane Coast and Sarraaf. Hurricane Coast became Holy Hall's second career winner in a week when narrowly prevailing at Southwell but he won't be inconvenienced by the change in jockey or venue. He escapes a penalty for the win and has obvious claims. Sarraaf ran well at the track in November, has a decent course record and is no back number in the right company. Hi Spec won twice at the track in 2008 when partnered by Adam Kirby; she didn't get the run of the race last time but may fare better this time around. She was behind Ridgeway Jazz on that latest start and Mark Usher's filly is taken to land a second career success. She needs the rub of the green as she has found trouble in running when held up off the pace in two runs here this month but she's been running well enough to mean that it's worth taking the risk that the gaps appear at the right time for Ridgeway Jazz.
