COURT BALOO (NAP) trounced subsequent Perth winner Chocolat Noir by 15 lengths here a month ago. Pads was beaten five lengths in that Perth race so it will be a surprise if Daragh Bourke’s long-standing maiden can better Alistair Whillans’ stayer here. Vif Argent is a danger, however, on a back-to-form second over further at Warwick while Simply Lucky was also back to his best last time at Uttoxeter. Go To Court is getting closer but For Jim looked in the handicapper’s grip at Bangor in August and Flying Jack looks to be having a confidence-booster.
