The Haggas and Gosden camps are also represented here in what looks the weaker of the two divisions on paper. The latter runs Vinnie Jones, who needs to improve substantially from a modest polytrack debut at Wolverhampton, while JUSTINEO gained his third placing in a low-key four-runner affair at Nottingham. However, he was distinctly green that day and not given a hard time so, with the extra furlong likely to suit, he is a hopeful choice in a contest where sound form is thin on the ground. Reve Du Jour has done enough in her two outings to merit each-way consideration, while it would be wise to check the market in case of support for newcomers Saigon and Lucky Money.
