Verdict
Flat winner Joie De Vivre should do better now handicapping but a similar comment applies to NOW CHILDREN, who is fitted with a tongue-tie - Paddy Brennan looks a significant jockey booking. Paris Protocol is fit from the Flat but still 9lb higher than when successful at Market Rasen last year. Swaffham Bulbeck was third over 1m4f at Catterick on his first run for Brian Ellison but has plenty of weight given he has only won at Fakenham so far over timber. Two Blondes may also be a few pounds too high but Let's Sway is starting to look well treated.
