My Mate Jake carries a 6lb penalty for last week's win at Wolverhampton but scored by over four lengths and should be thereabouts again. However, SKY KHAN gets another chance as, though he was well beaten by Galipot here last time, he finished clear of the third and this shorter trip will suit. Ashkalara produced a better effort over a mile at Chepstow on her latest start and Rockweiller won off today's mark the last time he raced over C&D. Island Melody has been out of sorts on Turf recently but has claims on his earlier form on this surface.
