Ryan Style and Another Citizen keep coming up short racing off similar marks. Both should be thereabouts again, however, but preference goes to GUNG HO JACK. He won the first division of a similar contest over C&D in a faster time than today's rival, Dark Lane, won the other division and John Best's charge gets the vote to follow-up. Bull Bay showed a bit more last time and should go well on his handicap debut.
