Jameson has done well in handicaps since a debut second over fences at Ffos Las. Kalondra won over the larger obstacles at Sedgefield in October but was no match for Modus next time at Wincanton and, like Nigel Twiston-Davies’ runner, is carrying a penalty. MOVEWITHTHETIMES has already run a couple of solid races around here and his turn may have come around. He only weakened at the last behind North Hill Harvey and Sceau Royal in October and then chased home Finian’s Oscar and there is nothing of that calibre in opposition today. Coo Star Sivola has four lengths to find on that latest effort.
