Over The Air was second in a similar contest over track and trip at the end of last month but is 4lb higher now. Vendredi Trois is lightly raced but has shown little so far and similar comments apply to Petrovic. Kims Quest would have a chance on her third here in July but disappointed next time at Ffos Las. JIGSAW FINANCIAL has an absence to overcome but won twice here last summer and isn't badly treated on his best form. He gets a tentative vote with Speed Check already struggling when hampered and running out at Huntingdon last month.
