Roger Charlton sent out last year's winner and Pacific Salt only weakened approaching the final furlong on his reappearance at Lingfield last month. Foresight was only beaten a short-head at Doncaster on his return to action but is likely to be short enough in the betting and probably doesn't have a lot in hand over Jayjinski and HE'S MY CRACKER. The latter pair clashed at Salisbury earlier this month with Richard Hannon's charge doing best. But Clive Cox' gelding will have benefited more from the run and is less exposed so fancied to turn the tables and land this. Cold Snap was slowly away at Lingfield while Raising Sand wouldn't still be in training if connections didn't think him capable of winning a race.
