Verdict
Four of these have already won over hurdles though Sofia's Rock and Cervaro Mix have both been beaten subsequently carrying a penalty. A tongue-tie is applied to the former but Good Man Jim is preferred having opened his account with a course and distance success in maiden company. The betting suggested HES NO TROUBLE would show major improvement at Huntingdon last time and Kim Bailey’s charge duly made a every yard to win by a wide margin. He gets the nod to defy a penalty and go in again with the remainder harder to recommend unless the newcomer Kadasa, a half-sister to five winners including the useful Kadarann, proves above average.
