Even though he's picked up a penalty, Friday's Leicester winner Beaujolais Bob is still 6lb out of the handicap. The previously-frustrating Johns Luck is also penalised after beating three rivals at Southwell last week but Spartilla was only beaten half-a-length on her chasing bow at Fakenham and Like Sully has been getting closer. Mist The Boat never won over hurdles and may find this an insufficient test of stamina so BAWDEN ROCKS may enjoy a deserved change of luck after three seconds in a row since switching to the larger obstacles.
