ISLE OF JURA had so much in hand at Newmarket last time that even a 14 lb rise may not prevent him completing a hat-trick with further improvement very much on the cards. Hafeet Alain has struck up a good partnership with Connor Planas in recent months and is second choice ahead of the very promising Poet Master.
