Sizing At Midnight has questions to answer having been pulled up in his last four starts over fences. High Noon appears to save his best for Market Rasen while Palixandre has never won over fences and isn’t very consistent. JIMMY THE DIGGER has looked a reformed character this summer and made a winning start over the larger obstacles here in July. He’s won three of his eight career starts so there should be plenty more to come.
