Desert Flute looks up against it but there's little to choose between the three with a handicap mark. Dancing Sal is the most exposed of the latter group, but her recent placed efforts here looks slightly stronger form than The Doyle Machine's latest third at this track. Three Pips has been thereabouts of late and has every chance, but JAEGER TRAIN won't need to be much above average to score on his racecourse debut and a chance is taken on Karl Burke's charge.
