Janika (3/1), Magic Saint (7/2), De Dollar Man (4/1), Hell's Kitchen (5/1), Movie Legend (14/1), Gardefort (14/1), Overtown Express (14/1), Royal Regatta (16/1), Rock On Rocky (22/1), Valdez (25/1)

JANIKA looks an exciting recruit for the champion trainer and he gets the vote under Daryl Jacob who has an exceptional book of rides this afternoon. Second on his chase debut this son of Saddler Maker then won all of his three subsequent starts over fences and could very easily be a cut above handicaps. Fellow smart ex-French recruit Magic Saint is also respected and he will likely come on plenty for his recent return. De Dollar Man is best of the rest but vulnerable to this unexposed pair.
