John Jenkins enjoyed three winners from as many runners on the first two days of this week. WHALEWEIGH STATION represents the Hertfordshire-based handler and could be worth latching on to while his horses are clearly in good nick. The son of Zamindar got within a neck of subsequent Kempton scorer Realize when second on his latest outing at Lingfield and can go one place better at the expense of Evening Attire and Duelling Dragon.

Jet Setting represents a yard no stranger to readying one first time up and the 7,000-euro purchase must enter calculations for leading connections, especially if the market vibes are strong. GIN IN THE INN fetched 35,000 euros at Tattersalls Ireland last September, though, and is a half-brother to stable companion Grandad's World, who exploited a mark of 90 on his handicap debut at Pontefract on Tuesday. He's expected to have been well prepared too and Richard Fahey's colt gets the verdict. Twisting Hay rates best of the rest.

MARGOT ROSE has been banging hard on the door on the all-weather of late and deserves to get her head in front reverting to turf for this assignment. A close third in a handicap off 52 at Lingfield a fortnight ago, the booking of Luke Morris suggests connections are confident of a bold showing. Special Code and Hell Of A Lord are closely matched on official ratings and the latter, wearing a hood for the first time, is the main danger dropping to this sort of company.

It's impossible to look past the returning JUSTICE GOOD, who finished a cracking fourth in the Group 2 Coventry Stakes on his latest outing as a two-year-old and he is way ahead of these rivals on official figures. Last season's Mill Reef runner-up Growl is most likely to chase him home, getting the better of Karen McLintock's twice-raced colt Gurkha Friend and Irish import Invincible Diamond.

MUSTARD had subsequent winner Emirates Skywards three-parts of a length behind when landing his maiden over 1m at Haydock in September. He is likely to have improved since, and can only benefit from this step up in trip so gets the vote to follow up on his handicap debut. Danegeld has seemingly taken giant strides forward from two to three years and he can show up well, while Oceanographer, Verismo and Belgrade add further spice to the race.

Hawkin looks to have a big chance for the 2012- and 2014-winning trainer Ralph Beckett, but she was a shade disappointing at Kempton last time and might be worth taking on with POSTBAG. Henry Candy's filly outran odds of 50/1 when a promising third on her debut over 1m at Kempton in November and she is likely to have improved a fair bit since. Neutron Bomb and Imtiyaaz are other respected players.

ARTFUL PRINCE ended 2014 with a trio of solid efforts in defeat at Nottingham and he looks to have a great chance on his seasonal reappearance. Triple course winner Barista is an interesting player returning to the Flat following a couple of decent efforts over timber earlier in the year. He, Richard Hughes' mount Great Expectations and Hanno, who was too bad to be true at Chelmsford, make up the shortlist.
