Verdict

GENTLE GIANT (9) did a good job to finish third two starts ago then recorded a commanding victory last start, scoring by 7 metres over 1 ¹/16m at this track. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw. Must raise the bar but another win is on the cards. JET FORCE (10) has been excellent of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1 ¹/16m here, getting home by 5.5 metres. Steps up a level but he is good enough to take this out. SANDERS (8) is better than his last-start seventh over 1 ¼m at this circuit. Worth another chance. LITTLEMICKEY (7) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1 ¼m at this course. Can trouble the judge with any luck in running.
