Subsequent Fontwell scorer Rossbrin beat Shrewd Investment by seven lengths over 2m6f at Huntingdon last month but the runner-up is 12lb better off today and fancied to turn the tables in first-time blinkers. Tenby Jewel has been runner-up three times in his last four starts and deserves a change of luck while Reland is potentially well handicapped back over hurdles off a mark of 94. Fakenham third Uncle Keef may be open to further improvement and Am I Blue returned to winning ways at Ffos Las last month but the one to beat may be SPANISH CRUISE. David Pipe's charge has bounced back well from injury this spring and can go one better than when second at Chepstow last time.
