SPRINGHEEL JAKE was beaten only a nose by the progressive Dutch Rose over 6f back in May. He didn't last home in soft ground at Redcar last time when stepped up to a mile but today's trip could prove ideal. In contrast, Cyflymder won over a mile at Chester before finding one too good over today's distance on the Turf at Lingfield. Soopacal was winning for only the second time in four years at Southwell last time and both those victories came on the Fibresand so C&D winner Chookie Avon looks a bigger threat after a better effort at Ayr recently.
