FORT JEFFERSON is fancied to concede weight here having shown enough in his win and a place at Bangor to suggest he is up to taking this, especially on easier ground than of late. Main danger may emerge from The Steward, who has been knocking on the door and won't be far away. He is better off at the weights with his C&D conqueror Clemento who may still be very much in the thick of the argument. Icefall should win a race but needs to improve a little on what he's shown so far.
