Verdict
HAPPY JACK has strong claims on his recent placed efforts at Lingfield and Chelmsford last time having finished ahead of several of these in the process. Michael Wigham's charge gets the vote. Time Square, Ferryview Place and Charlie's Star are among those beaten by the selection recently and Little Choosey looks a bigger threat on her recent third at Wolverhampton. Star Links continues to tumble down the handicap and finished a bit closer over a shorter trip last time.
