Verdict
It could pay to stick with ATOMIC JACK in this. He won over a similar trip on the Turf at Lingfield last month but George Baker’s charge also scored over course and distance earlier in the year and another bold bid is expected. Blazon notched-up a hat-trick including a couple of course and distance victories at the start of the year but has struggled subsequently while True North attempts 2m for the first time on his reappearance having placed over 1m4f at Wolverhampton in October. Cacophonous also steps up in distance on the back of a third over 1m5f while Encryption was beaten only a length on his only previous attempt at 2m
