JELSKI toughed it out at Haydock when last seen and will surely have been prepared with this meeting in mind by the Moffatt team. He's up to a mark of 109 but that's still lower than the figures he produced a couple of seasons back. Lock Down Luke has developed into a consistent handicapper and gained due reward with a narrow Kelso success last month. He's 5lb higher but remains a player under Quinlan with trip and conditions to suit. Global Agreement has yet to prove that he stays this far and wins have come with cut in the ground for all that he's well enough treated, whilst sole four- year-old, Line Of Descent, is an intriguing contender off bottomweight.
