Course and distance winner Mountain Peak has been involved in some quality sprints this season though the handicapper has punished him and Bond Chairman heavily for their endeavours here at the beginning of the month. Lovely Mana was fourth on that occasion and has been left on the same mark but JAWWAAL has slipped to an eyecatching mark and having won off a slightly higher mark at the course in the past, Michael Dods’ inmate is worth another chance. King Of Stars missed the kick at Chester on his most recent start and was always on a losing wicket from thereon in while Hurricane Ivor has been absent since two disappointing runs at the start of the campaign and William Haggas elects to drop him in grade.
