After a string of placed efforts on the Polytrack, HAADEETH finally returned to winning ways at Lingfield last time with the re-opposing Waterloo Dock beaten six lengths. He should come out best again in this lesser company with the unpredictable Jake The Snake looking the biggest danger. The latter is perfectly capable of winning at this level if in the mood and has plenty in hand with Gaelic Wizard on today's terms.
