Three powerhouse stables house the penalised contenders, of which Ofalltheginjoints looks to have the best form in the book but Global Society is arguably the one with greatest scope for improvement over timber as he impressed when scoring at Doncaster on a first start for Nicky Henderson and should progress further. Saint De Reve possibly has something to find with those two but is not discounted, whilst Capac and Perfect Harmony are also of note. However, ON TO VICTORY was a pretty useful sort on the level and his latest effort when third in a decent Newbury maiden suggested he has a future over hurdles too. He seems sure to come on again and is a speculative shot against the penalised trio in receipt of 6lb.
