No Buts proved his stamina over 3m4f at Taunton last month but is 8lb higher here. Master Jake will need to defy a 6lb rise and further step up in distance if he’s to complete his hat-trick while Tinker Time and La Vaticane have become disappointing. Turban may found this company too hot but Wadswick Court is worthy of consideration with a first-time visor likely to have some effect. He finished behind Keltus at Fakenham last year but is better off at the weights today. As well as Keltus, Paul Nicholls also runs SOUTHFIELD VIC. Back to winning ways after a break at Fontwell, Bryony Frost takes 7lb off the eight-year-old who won twice on summer ground last year.
