Jojesse will be fancied to go one better but OUTER HEBRIDES gets our vote ahead of him and Tri Chara and Kabis Amigos. The form of Milton Bradley's runner was given a boost when the second home ran out a very easy winner on Wednesday and this relatively consistent performer should be there or thereabouts. Jojesse only narrowly missed out on Wednesday and should make a bold bid to go one better if in the same form but Kabis Amigos will need to leave his recent form behind if he's to take advantage of a fair mark. Tri Chara is paying his first visit to Southwell and has claims on the pick of his form if handling the fibresand which his pedigree suggests that he may well do and his yard is going well. Our preference though is for Outer Hebrides.
