Verdict
N OVER J finished a close-up third in a tougher handicap at Lingfield just four days ago. He gets a change of headgear today and should go close if transferring that form to the Tapeta. Amood disappointed at this lowly level last time though had placed here before that when ahead of With Approval and Tarnhelm with Don't Be Surprised and I Am Dandy further behind while Bobby Joe Leg may prove best of the remainder.
