Plenty hold claims in a smashing handicap, including DJELO. A facile winner on return/yard debut at Exeter in November, he highlighted his revised mark remains a workable one when rallying well for third at Sandown (2m) last month and this step back up in trip is expected to unlock further improvement. Irish Hill is thriving himself and rates a lead threat in pursuit of the hat-trick. Fifty Ball, back at this venue, Petit Tonnerre and Zoffany Bay, at foot of the weights, are also worth a look.
