Just Jimmy is preferred in this handicap to Master of Arts and Tapas Lad. The selection is proven on this surface and he won well last time out. He will be suited by this step-up in trip and granted some luck in-running this hold-up performer can prove tough to beat. Master Of Arts is interesting as he is lightly-raced and is making his handicap debut. He is another who should be suited by this step-up in trip and he is one to note in the market. Tapas Lad has plenty of ability but he is also quite quirky, and although he won last time out he is not one to have maximum faith in. Dancing Maite has it all to do from the worst of the draw, and a safer bet looks to be Just Jimmy who appears to be on an upward curve.
