Nordic Combined is yet another on today’s card bidding to win a race for the second year running. He’s closely match with Garbanzo on Ffos Las running but would have preferred softer ground and is now blinkered. Brian Ellison trained Nordic Combined last year and now saddles the hat-trick seeking Burn Some Dust. Three-year-olds have a good record in this so he is respected along with the unexposed Charlie D and Yarmouth winner Nibras Galaxy. Luv U Whatever is a consistent sort and Al Kout is worth a try over this trip but could get outstayed by JAM SESSION, who has only been raised 2lb for winning over 2m at Newmarket so is still well treated.
