Tardree has taken well to fences and connections will be pleased to see him dropped 3lb for his third at Southwell last time. The step up to an extended 2m3f should prove no problem as he has won over 3m in the pointing sphere. However, HIGH NOON has an excellent record at this track this season with two wins and a second from three starts and the 7lb claim of the capable Emma Smith-Chaston more than offsets his latest 5lb rise. Peterborough is steadily coming down the weights to a more workable mark and David Jeffreys introduces headgear to try and generate improvement from Notnow Seamus.
