Bill Me Up and Jabiru are likely to head the market here with Jabiru getting our vote. Hold On Harry could prove to be best of the rest. Bill Me Up has proven very consistent of late, winning a point before finishing second to Sporting Chance here in a similar race last time. A repeat of that effort puts him firmly in the shake-up. However, the form choice is Jabiru, whose second to Silence Reigns at Newbury in March, and a second also here over two-and-three-quarter miles two runs ago, stands up to the closest scrutiny. He also won this race last year and Khayal has eight lengths to find on that form. Hold Up Harry has been doing well in points but probably faces a tougher examination of his abilities tonight. He could go well, but we'll side with Kabiru to land this race for the second year in succession.
