War At Sea, Jazz Scene and Flying Pass are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the tentative vote is given to War At Sea. The selection won over a mile on the flat is sure to have been well schooled for this his hurdling debut and under conditions that suit he is taken to Score. Jazz Scene rates the main danger as he was another fair flat performer at his best and made a pleasing debut over hurdles when second, he is sure to have learnt from the experience and should be noted in the market. Flying Pass is another that could go well as he was a fair second behind Shaman last time and is another that is sure to improve. Cash And Carry hails from a yard in top form and should be closely watched in the market but the suspicion is he may just need there run after a 280 day absence. Of the remainder Cash On looks as if he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip and with this in mind for the winner we return to War At Sea.
