A fairly competitive looking affair, where perhaps WHO'S MY JOCKEY can improve again to defy a 6lb rise up the weights since winning at Kempton last time out. The fact Richard Johnson retakes the ride is obviously no bad thing, and the step up in trip may well produce further progression as well. He is taken to see off the likes of recent Uttoxeter winner Black Sam Bella and the lightly-raced Sky Pirate.
