JAIYANA is back in maiden company after suffering a narrow-margin defeat in a handicap at Lingfield earlier in the week and should have the edge on Napoleon Solo on today's terms. Knotty Jack and Invectus Hero look likely improvers but Believe It has to be forgiven a poor effort at Haydock last time, though that came over a mile. Sirdaab and Mr Christopher have plenty to find with the selection at the weights and are hard to fancy.
