Reverend Jacobs (8/13), Uptown Funk (11/4), Count Simon (6/1), War Brigade (20/1), Hang Man (33/1)
Count Simon and Uptown Funk meet REVEREND JACOBS on considerably worse terms than they would in a handicap. The Haggas stable continue to send out winners with due regularity and although there runner here is unlikely to be a headline maker, the selection may be good enough to take the honours. He was ridden from the front last time in an effort to offset his lack of finishing pace and just found a Godolphin improver too strong. This is easier and similar tactics could exploit the deficiencies in his rivals.
