JIMMY SPEAKING (1) was placed from this mark on his final outing of last season. Goes well fresh and though unproven tackling the trip is worth risking. ASH WEDNESDAY (5) secured his fifth win of the year at Wolverhampton a week ago. Previously won over course and distance and demands maximum respect despite continuing to climb the weights. HOW IMPRESSIVE (2) bounced back to form when second tackling track and trip a fortnight ago. Remains appealingly weighted despite a 3lb ratings rise. SECRET STRENGTH (6) followed up a decisive Lingfield (7f) win with a second here attempting the journey. Could be in the mix.
