In depth
Verdict
Lightly raced over fences, Never Wonder is open to improvement, but he has no easy task giving weight away all round. Roller Blade has more to do than when winning a moderate event at Southwell, but that was only his second outing over fences and further improvement looks likely. Normarange will not have to carry any over weight this time and looks sure to run well, while Woodlands Beau will need to jump better here than at Fontwell if he is to figure.
