Course and distance winner Definite Winner slips further down the weights and Connor Brace is a good jockey booking but ALL GOOD THINGS’ 7lb rise for winning at Bangor is partly negated by Jason Dixon’s claim and he should follow up. Sabbathical’s last run over hurdles saw him finish over track and trip off today’s mark and Yulong Magicreef is the least exposed. Sergeant Brody may be best of the rest.
