Verdict
Jawhari spreadeagled a field over course and distance last week and there is no reason to suppose a 6lb penalty will stop him from repeating the feat here. Reachforyourpocket faces a much stiffer task than when just touched off at Brighton, and a bigger danger could be Three Days In May, who recorded a good time when winning an amateurs' race at Thirsk and may be capable of better.
