    Verdict

    Nobuttaboy has run a couple of good races over 3m under Rules at Southwell and has the highest rating of this trio. But he may need to improve again to get the better of IMPULSIVE STAR as Neil Mulholland’s charge, also a winning pointer, stayed on strongly in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last time and promises to be suited by this even longer trip. Same Circus was clear of the third when only beaten a short-head at Wetherby on Boxing Day and she also won over 3m between the flags so is no forlorn hope.
