Verdict
Royal Jet has won four of his last five appearances and must enter calculations, but narrow preference is for U S S CONSTITUTION. Back with Ed Walker following a two-year stint in Hong Kong, the six-year-old returned with an impressive victory over this trip at Kempton earlier in the month and he looks more than capable of defying a 7lb rise. My Boy Harry hasn't done too much wrong since the blinkers were fitted and he could make the frame once more.
Expert View Verdict
U S S CONSTITUTION returned from his spell in Hong Kong with a win at Kempton, picking up well off a steady pace and being well on top at the line. He's gone up 7lb but remains fairly treated and this looks another winnable Class 6 contest. Royal Jet is on a four-timer with a 3lb rise for his latest win by no means looking unmanageable. He rates the danger to the selection, although My Boy Harry is rock-solid, having been holding his form well, and he wasn't beaten far from this mark last time.
