Verdict
Narborough sets the standard but it's not a very high one with a handicap mark of 60 and he steps up in distance on his reappearance. So does Takafol, fourth at Bath in October, but Bold Grove improved to take third over track and trip on his latest start and may figure once again. REGAL BOND also showed some progress to claim fourth here last month and it's Geoff Oldroyd's charge that gets a token vote to come out best in a poor maiden.
