Jack The Giant gets there confident vote here with Industrial Star and Warningcamp rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Wellbeing last time out. That form has since been franked and as his shrewd trainer chose this race over the three he was entered in at the meeting he gets the confident vote. Industrial Star rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Balyan. He looks sure to improve but will need to have done so to win this much more competitive affair. Warningcamp beat the highly regarded Siberian Highness last time and is another that could go well but he has yet to prove he will be as competitive on this faster surface. Classic Role would have chances on his best form but has not progressed as expected. Of the remainder Great Memories is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but the suspicion is he will be sen to better effect over further and for the winner we return to Jack The Giant.
