FORT JEFFERSON took a step forward at Sedgefield last month when finishing second over hurdles, and can easily be forgiven a sub-par run on the Flat at Chester since. Harry Skelton stays faithful here, and that might be worth noting. Aardwolf has been second on his last two starts and should go well along with Swashbuckle, who gets new headgear after a lesser effort last time out.
