Banana Joe was rather let down by his jumping when attracting market support at Hexham but still had every chance when unseating his rider two out and would almost certainly have finished ahead of eventual third To The Limit and Strategic had he stood up. SUMMIT LIKE HERBIE needs to recapture his best form but did win over 3m here last year under Jordan Nailor and has tumbled down the ratings again lately. Vintage Glen returned from a break to finish second at Kelso and should be winning soon and he looks better treated than Lingfield runner-up Bobmahley. No Cruise Yet has changed stables and had wind surgery since last seen.
