Verdict
NOMAN is penalised for winning at Wolverhampton in October but looks to have little to fear from today’s opponents. Pedigree suggests this longer trip will be within his compass and Hugo Palmer’s charge can make the journey up from Newmarket worthwhile. Doctor Parnassus finished a moderate fifth at Redcar on his reappearance while the four-year-old Castle View has been well beaten in a couple of outings over hurdles having been withdrawn at the start on the Flat earlier.
