The betting suggested ELJADDAAF (NAP) would show a big improvement on his handicap debut and he duly went very close to catching the winner. Further progress is expected today and he gets the nod to open his account. Fortinbrass has been in good form at Southwell of late while Top Cop wasn’t beaten far here last time when ahead of Divine Call and has every chance with a similar effort. Both Jolly Red Jeanz and Little slipped down the weights last year and could bounce back at any time.
