Justified has been competing over longer trips since scoring over today’s distance on the all-weather in April and is back on the same mark. Contrebasse also drops down in trip and gets a change of headgear but STORMIN NORMAN has been thereabouts lately including over 1m6f at Nottingham last time and he gets a speculative vote to return to winning ways. Teescomponentsfly posted a better effort at Thirsk last time and may prove best of the rest.
