Verdict
Just A Thought's second behind If You Say Run at Chepstow was probably decent form and she should be winning soon. But Paul Nicholls, who trains the winner, should know where he stands with BILL AND BARN. The latter should leave his bumper form behind now tackling hurdles as he's already won two point-to-points. Winning chaser No Buts was only beaten half-a-length at Southwell last month over the smaller obstacles while Station Master showed plenty of promise at Exeter on his first run for Kim Bailey and will know more today.
