Noble Nova is taken to score in a competitive contest with Insubordinate his biggest danger. Insubordinate¿s defeat of Cottingham here last time gives him a leading chance with the runner up scoring in fine style at Newcastle on Tuesday night. He is slightly inconsistent but had run a good race to be a close second three outings ago and is in good heart. He will be hard to beat. Noble Nova has been very busy, having won three races in nine days and is hard to oppose. He carries a six pound penalty but still runs off the same mark as his latest Ayr success. Anthemion is six pounds better off with Insubordinate for a two length beating here last time but hasn¿t won for over a year and Insubordinate can uphold the form. This is a tricky contest, with some good form to ponder over but Insubordinate¿s burden of top weight may allow Noble Nova to register a four timer.
