Verdict
Winning bumper Norton Hill should be capable of winning over timber soon though looks a bit high in the weights. Kazontherazz has never been this far and weakened quickly from the last over 2m4f at Worcester. Bright Sunbird‘s three victories have all been on good ground including over 3m2f at Stratford in July so she is respected from 5lb higher providing there is no rain. ALDSWORTH (NAP) came in for strong support on his debut for new connections at Huntingdon last month and was travelling nicely in the lead when falling two out. Compensation awaits here though Sheila Nash has returned to form and is on a fair mark with her rider‘s claim factored in.
