Medicine Jack finished second over track and trip a fortnight ago when PROUD ARCHI (NAP) ran below par on the soft ground. But the latter had been threatening a return to winning ways before that and gets another chance on today’s more suitable surface. He’s preferred to stablemate Langholm but the unexposed Prince Ali makes his handicap debut and could go well. Confrontational is proving best on the all-weather while King Of Tonga gets a change of headgear.
