Baileysgutfeeling has been very consistent at this sort of level though has gone up 4lb for finishing second at Chelmsford in November. MONSIEUR JUMBO was narrowly beaten in two starts on Turf in the autumn before landing a novices' event at Newcastle last month. There's more to come and a double looks on the cards, though Clarets Glory was in very good form on fast going in September before being beaten in a valuable auction race at Newmarket. Roudemental improved with each run last season while Cabinet Maker led for a long way over 1m2f at Beverley when well supported. Grifter isn't out of this either as his best runs have been on quick ground.
