Verdict
Jack Barber learned at the feet of Paul Nicholls and trained more than 100 point-to-point winners. He has made a positive start to his career under Rules and has already had a winner here and POSH TOTTY has won 14 times between the flags since last seen under Rules - she's a potential blot on the handicap. Quiz Master is making his handicap debut but has yet to show much but Mab Dab is back on the same mark as when successful on fast ground here in April. The Game Is A Foot, also a previous course and distance winner, is another on a fair mark and looks best of the rest.
