    Verdict

    SOCCERJACKPOT should have too much for his rivals in this claimer; Appalachian Trail and Indian Skipper are put forward as the main dangers. Clive Cox has not had many runners so far this year but he has alreay had a couple that have run very well and Soccerjackpot can continue the postitive trend. He has won two of his five starts on the all-weather and he drops into this grade for the first time today. Appalachian Trail did win here in this grade back in November and a reproduction of that effort would give him an obvious chance. Indian Skipper was very disappointing at Southwell two starts ago but he bounced back to form when he got up in the shadows of the post at Kempton on Wednesday evening. Bolodenka probably needs further than this to be seen at his best, and Soccerjackpot is put forward as a confident pick.
