JEZ BOMB has been a real improver in the second half of the year and might be able to defy the handicapper again. Tasever finally came good here last time and is second choice ahead of Absolutely Buzzing.

Came good at the 24th time of asking in 12-runner C&D handicap 11 days ago. While that record doesn't mark him down as an obvious sort to follow up a 3lb rise looks fair.

Has a basement mark to work with now starting out for Jim Goldie but better perhaps the best guide to expectations after 7 months off.
