Formscan - Jukebox Fury commands attention on his return to action for the in-form Nicky Henderson yard, while Up To Trix will be winning a race like this sooner rather than later. However, it might pay to stick with EL GAVILAN, who is chasing four wins on the spin (all at this track) and seemed to improve for the extra yardage here last time.
