JOYEUX MACHIN has seemingly been brought to the boil at just the right time by master-target-trainer Dan Skelton and he's taken to land this decent pot. Guard Duty is progressive and will enjoy getting plenty of cover in this big-field handicap, so he's the main danger ahead of Irish-raider Blaze the Way who remains unexposed over this sort of trip. Of the several other interesting types, Chasingouttheblues deserves an honourable mention following his luckless passage at Haydock last month.
