Imperial Echo is dangerously well treated whilst Carnival Dream should make a bold bid from the front but we'll take a chance that MISTER JINGLES can bounce back to form. Connections have engaged a good apprentice to take the ride aboard the six year old who hasn't scored since June last year. He's a couple of pounds lower in the ratings now having been well held the last twice and he has claims in a race that lacks strength in depth. He has many similarities to Imperial Echo who wasn't beaten too far prior to disappointing at Yarmouth. David Barron's charge knows where the winning line is and has leading claims in this company. Shunkawakhan has done most of his winning on the all-weather but can't be ignored whilst Positivity doesn't have too many miles on the clock. This may not take a great deal of winning and all are considered but decent, recent form is fairly thin on the ground so we'll take a punt on Mister Jingles.
