This is invariably won by a market leader and the biggest price in recent years is 5/1. The tough and consistent BOMBER JACKSON had House Limit and the well backed Zarliman close behind over the track and trip a couple of weeks ago and though slightly worse off he had a bit in hand and can complete a double. Eloge didn't run badly in mid-division though looks held but Ballad Dancer looks a major threat as she was having only her sixth start when producing her best run to date here in February and can make enough progress to get into the frame.
