Take away Getgo and all of the remainder have a chance. Glendun and Satpura drop back in distance after running well over a mile while Neptunes Secret steps up in trip on the back of a fourth over 6f. But NOVOMAN went close over today’s distance at Yarmouth recently and with that form looking slightly stronger than Dahl and Permanent’s placed efforts, the Haggas colt gets a tentative vote to come out best.
