It may be unlikely that the gutsy Father Jed can turn the tables on the Tom Mullins-trained EMILY SQUARE following the mares' 8L demolition of a 16 runner field over C&D earlier this month and looks more than capable of handling the 9lb extra burden in this contest. The hat trick seeking Chosen Hour and the Gordon Elliott-trained Rio De Cerisy on handicap debut should not be underestimated.
