Think Its All Over only found one too good at Ludlow and Sedgefield last month. Take Of Shoc'S' returned to form at Chepstow, which wasn't unexpected and he's still on a fair mark while Walcot Lathyrus won under Rules for the first time at Worcester and might be open to further improvement. LITTLE JIMMY won three times last season, twice on heavy going. Conditions are in his favour on his return to action and, still only six, he can score again as Brousse En Feux is unreliable and generally better over further.
