MOTHER JONES beat subsequent winner Steelcut and today's rival Whipphound when landing a claimer over C&D last month. She can register a double here as she was rated much higher when winning her maiden last June. Waabel and Riflessione are capable of popping up if the mood takes them and both went close at Lingfield last month, while Billy Red is another who could figure if at his best, although his losing run stretches back to 2010. Surprisingly, the five-time winner You'relikemefrank has raced exclusively over 5f in his 27 starts to date but he's another with claims if proving suited to the extra distance.
