These fences can be tricky but Joly Maker has already won around here. He’s gone close twice since scoring at Huntingdon in May but remains 13lb higher. ALL SHOOK UP attracted market support on his chasing bow at Hereford and found only his market rival too good. Only 2lb higher, he can land this granted normal progress though Lord Sparky and Mozzaro are both capable when in the mood..
