Ivans Back has made the frame in his last three starts but is hardly progressing at the age of nine. Jaja De Jau was second in a similar race over course and distance in March and is only a couple of pounds higher while Vision De La Vie appeared to be getting the hang of things at Perth and could be interesting on his handicap debut. BARABOY is more exposed but there has been some general since the turn of the year and he seem to get on well with 5lb claimer Graham Watters. Barry Murtagh's four-year-old can finally come good today.
