Expecting Air Assault to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. AIR ASSAULT (1) was a brave winner of the Balaklava Cup last start, heading straight to the front and fending off all rivals. Will look to do the same from the wide draw and is unbeaten over this trip. Tough to knock. JACK THE LAD (4) returned with a bang at HQ when launching on his rivals to arrive just in time at long odds. Has his share of ability and deserves a lot more respect this time. PUDDING (3) hasn't offered a yelp in his two runs back but has tackled some tough opposition. Strips fitter third-up and is 2/2 over the track and trip. Don't underestimate. RIVERPLATE (7) wasn't given much of a chance last start in the Balaklava Cup but his form prior was solid. Better showing anticipated. AIGUILETTE (10) is going well and can get involved at a nice price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jack The Lad each-way.
