Verdict
Plenty of these have winning form on the track including Jetoile, who had few problems landing the odds in a novices' handicap last month for which he's been raised 7lb. NOTHIN TO ASK was an easy winner here in October and followed up at Doncaster. He reappeared with a fair run at Newbury last month and can get back on the winning trail. Northern Bound has been waiting for the drying ground and would have an obvious chance on his Newbury victory in November though he's never won first time back. After completing a hat-trick, Le Ligerien jumped poorly at Newton Abbot but Brendan Powell is back on board and a much better effort is expected.
