Reasonable tempo with Ser Joh probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. SER JOH (9) didn't bring his best to the races at the latest outing but the form prior was good enough to feature in a race like this. Gets a jockey upgrade in the form of T Clark and a return to the winners' stall would not surprise. ACRES AWAY (8) boasts a victory over this course and distance and will be ready to peak now fourth-up from the spell. Anticipating a big run this time. DEEP RESPECT (5) resumes here but has revved up for this with a recent trial placing and has won first-up before. Respect any market confidence. MAXIMUM VORTEX (2) is racing well in patches and can be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ser Joh to bounce back.
