Verdict
Wannabe Brave placed over a longer trip at Southwell last month while Scottish Dancer also drops down in trip on his first start for a new yard. Myboymax has won over today’s distance off a higher mark at Wolverhampton while El Borracho has shown a big improvement over jumps since last on the Flat. But JOIE DE VIVRE also returns to the level for the first time since scoring over track and trip in September and may improve further having recently undergone a breathing operation.
