Novalist has recorded all three wins on the all-weather at Southwell and went close on the Fibresand once again last month. DOUNEEDAHAND has won over 6f at this track and can race off a lower mark today - she may come good again on her first attempt at this longer trip. Telegraph wasn't beaten far over course and distance in between a couple of modest efforts while Happydoingnothing and Just Rubie will no doubt take advantage of their tumble down the weights before long.
