Nonrunner
MAD FOR ROAD (NAP) was upped in class after scoring in this grade over course and distance last month. A runner-up back here since then, he looks to have an easier task today only 2lb higher in the weights. Jebulani was raised 10lb for his recent course and distance victory when Bertie Moon was well beaten. But the latter has since shown signs of a return to form with a second at Perth and re-opposes on better terms. Catterick winner Grand Vintage needs further and Dynamic Drive remains 8lb higher than his win here in August when District Attorney finished three lengths behind.
