Deep Impression won at Southwell recently despite looking less than straightforward and gets a change of headgear. But JACK OF TRADES makes more appeal as he would have finished closer to the winner when runner-up at Lingfield if not denied a clear run at a crucial point in the race and further improvement is expected now handicapping. Apatite showed no progress at Wolverhampton on her handicap bow while Influence Is Power finished a long way behind Deep Impression and Musaytir and steps up from 6f.
