As low-mileage 6-y-os from top yards, JUKEBOX FURY and Skiffle Man are naturally appealing, particularly given that they both arrive here on the back of improved efforts. The latter's handicap debut second over 20.5f at Southwell augurs well with regard to this new trip and he is not passed over lightly, but Jukebox Fury got the better of a next-time-out winner when opening his account upped to a similar trip to this at Doncaster and he is marginally preferred. Aazza makes some each-way appeal.
