Verdict

Only Money needs to brush up his jumping but has been dropped a couple of pounds since his second in a small race at Newbury and Huntingdon winner Dreamsundermyfeet couldn’t cope with a 6lb rise at Southwell. The five-year-old NAIZAGAI (NAP) has gone close twice off a pound higher mark and could be due a change of luck so gets the nod with Shanacoole Prince and Marajman best watched at present.
