Verdict

Bumper winner NO ORDINARY JOE made a promising start over hurdles with a fourth in Grade 2 company at Ascot behind the high-class novice My Drogo. Nicky Henderson’s charge should be winning at this level with the longer trip likely to suit. Voyburg finished strongly at Warwick without threatening the placed horses and will also relish this extra distance while both Grosvenor Court and Tiny Tantrum have shown bits of promise in bumpers.
