In depth

Verdict

The veteran NOZIC had dropped to his lowest ever mark when gaining his 10th success over fences at Plumpton and though 6lb higher he should still take some beating. He's handed the vote over Tokyo Javilex, who was having just his second start over fences when scoring at Sedgefield but has been raised 7lb. Mon Chevalier's form figures flatter him as he's been beaten a long way in recent starts but Walden Prince has shown enough potential in three runs over fences to be considered. Islandmagee has only had three runs over fences and definitely improved on his latest start at Wincanton.
