NUMBER ONE LONDON is one of the more exposed but came up against higher rated rivals at Lingfield last time. This is much less competitive and Karl Burke's charge can finally open his account. Short Shrift looks next best of those with an official rating but still has a bit to find with the selection on today's terms. Jaladee showed no improvement for the step up to 1m3f last time but Frost Fire drops back in distance after a third at Lingfield last week and looks a bigger threat.
