Verdict
JONNIESOFA beat a subsequent winner on his chasing bow at Carlisle following a lengthy absence. If that hasn’t taken too much out of Rose Dobbin’s novice, he should be too strong for Ami Desbois off level weights, though the latter did make a winning start over fences over 2m here last month and is now 2-2 on the track. A Vos Gardes has won bumpers and a hurdle but this will be his first run since February of last year.
