FIT FOR THE JOB has been brought along gradually since joining Jonjo O'Neill and came good at the third time of asking for the yard when defying 10-2 to score at Windsor this month. A 4lb rise for the victory is offset by the Marsh 7lb claim and he can oblige again, having handled testing conditions in Ireland when with David Wachman. Al Nafoorah finally got his head in front on his penultimate start after a string of seconds but looks on a high enough mark for now and lightly-raced, recent Carlisle winner, Natajack, looms as a larger threat with more improvement due. Lamloon is consistent and should be in the mix once more.
