Verdict
A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for JACK DANIEL who signalled his turn is near again when a very good C&D second last time out and races off just a 1 lb higher mark here. Hat-trick seeking Down To The Kid heads the list of dangers ahead of Harriet Bethell's new recruit Milteye and the handily-weighted Dawn of Liberation.
