SUMMIT LIKE HERBIE won a similar race over a shade further at Doncaster in November and Jordan Nailor is back on board for the first time since. Paseo drops further down the ratings and is beginning to look well treated on the pick of his hurdles form. Give Us A Swig certainly has the form to figure but was only fifth when favourite at Exeter earlier this month and Earcomesbob has also been frustrating to follow, though is still relatively unexposed.
