Jurby broke a blood vessel on his latest outing but won over track and trip in January and is penalised today along with STORM HOME. The latter opened his account with a victory at Taunton last month and there should be more to come from Colin Tizzard’s charge. The remainder have yet to set the world alight with Dont Be Robin still beaten a long way when placed at Taunton though Come On Charlie can only improve from a modest debut effort here with Richard Johnson taking over the reins today.
