Magic Sting, Habanero, Ile Facile and Jakarmi look to be the principles here and a chance is taken on the last mentioned. The selection is rising in the weights after a consistent campaign but he is in such good heart at present that he is difficult to overlook. He is dropped in trip slightly, which will not be a problem, and with conditions to suit he looks to hold a solid chance. Magic Sting rates the main danger and he is another in good form. He has won both of his last two starts, but they weren't the strongest of races and this looks slightly more competitive. Habanero is improving with every run but his best form has been over shorter and on this occasion we are prepared to overlook him. Ile Facile ran well on his return to the turf at Pontefract last time when second behind Adaikali, so he is another worth considering, but in a competitive affair Jakarmi is given the narrow vote.
