ORANGE NASSAU made all and went clear at Market Rasen for a very comprehensive victory and though raised 11lb he has the in-form Noel Fehily on board and will take all the beating. The consistent Jayandbee stays this marathon trip well as he showed when a close third over the course and distance in December. Jaunty Journey stayed on very strongly to score over Newton Abbot's 3m3f hurdles track last time while Miss Saffron didn't look like stopping over 3m here last month though a 10lb rise won't aid her cause. Allthekingshorses has never won over fences but has taken on better company and James Best's claim is a bonus.
