10-1 Fox Power (IRE), Boy Browning (GB)

VEGAS JACK arrives on the back of a very good third in a race that looks very strong form at Newbury 4 weeks ago, that despite possibly making his effort earlier than ideal. One to be interested in, he gets the nod to defy this mark tackling 7f forthe first time The thriving Redredrobin and Imperial Dream, who shaped well himself at Wolverhampton recently, head up the dangers.
