Formscan - It looks best to side with JAZZ KING, who won at Hereford in November before finding only a progressive rival too strong at Wetherby on Boxing Day. Alastair Ralph's gelding tackles an extra furlong here, which should suit, and he is expected to go one place better. Another that should relish this longer trip is Soldierofthestorm, who plugged on over 2m at Ascot last month without ever looking like he would play a part in the finish. Golden Ambition came up short in his hat-trick bid last time out, but remains of interest.
