WHO'S MY JOCKEY is likely to start a short price for this having run a good second in a handicap at Towcester recently. He has the champion jockey for assistance and ought to prevail not back amongst novices'. Polydora caused a shock at Chepstow in October and deserves respect as such, though he didn't build on it next time. Babytaggle and Ocean Cove appeals the best of the remainder.
