J: Jack Callan

He has two impressive C&D wins on his record this winter; not at his best on his last two starts but he's not an easy horse to pass if breaking on terms; needs another personal best but it is not out of the question.

Back to form with a bang when blitzing his rivals at Wolverhampton last week, setting strong fractions and coming home 3.25l in front; 3lb well in under a penalty and he is better drawn today than when widest of all at Wolverhampton; effective over C&D; obvious chance.

Form & Verdict
Ran well last summer when reacting positively to a tongue-tie and returned to form with a near-miss here on New Year's Day; last week's Southwell run puts a spanner in the works (for all that it was over 6f) but has a big run in her; races prominently.
