The action kicks off with a lowly seller and preference is for JONAH'S CRUISING who displayed a good attitude when winning at Kempton; Cherry Belle and Shifting Gold make it to the shortlist. Not anything to miss your lunch for, however something has to win and preference is for recent winner Jonah's Cruising. Winning is not a strong point for any of his rivals and whilst he has to prove his ability to act on turf, there is no reason to doubt that he will run his race. Ba Globetrotter and Cherry Belle both have experience to draw on, of which the latter's form reads slightly better. Newcomer Invincible Brave would not have to be much cop to make a winning debut and the market will help guide to his chance, whilst horses such as Aligned and Jack's House may improve after just one moderate start apiece. A good chance it appears for Jonah's Cruising to win again with the longer trip expected to cause no concern.
