Koropick went close at Musselburgh recently while Jack Ryan finished runner-up at Brighton but has to race off a 7lb higher mark on the all-weather and Blackcurrent is another rated higher on artificial surfaces. THE TRON completed a double on Tapeta back in January so, having placed back here subsequently, Derek Shaw’s charge gets the vote. Enchanted Night finished in front of For Peat's Sake when third at Yarmouth but is still looking for a first win.
