Verdict
Tobefair just missed out to Sire Du Berlais in the Grade 3 Pertemps Network Final here last month with previous course winner Aaron Lad and also First Assignment both well beaten. He should go close with a similar effort today but WHO’S MY JOCKEY is just preferred. The latter had a subsequent winner 12 lengths back in third when scoring easily at Doncaster on his first start since Boxing Day and is taken to defy a rise in the weights. Warwick winner Ocean Cove and recent runner-up Sir Ivan are both upped in class while Copper Gone West won a novice event at Bangor and The Welsh Paddies makes more appeal bidding for a hat-trick despite a 10lb rise for winning at Stratford.
