JAYTRACK PARKHOMES (NAP) was very well supported on his chasing bow at Wincanton at the start of the year. He found only one too good and was an eye-catcher over hurdles here last month when not given a hard time. That run will have blown away a few cobwebs and Colin Tizzard’s novice has more scope than his rivals. Nineohtwooneoh made a winning start over fences at Southwell but then ran a shocker at Stratford and will need to bounce back. Dream Bolt hasn’t won for a while and is in the veteran stage now but, like Lord Bryan, has won around here while Blue N Yellow should be getting his head in front sooner rather than later. Mine's A Pint also has a squeak but Saintemilion and Majestic Touch are best watched for now.
