Verdict
Opening Bid wasn’t winning out of turn at Uttoxeter in December and is a past winner here. Langafel could be interesting if fully wound-up while Greatest Star will have benefited from a run at Wincanton on Boxing Day. NON STOP (NAP) is 2-2 over course and distance and seems to handle all types of going. Though raised a further 7lb, he may well lift some of the gloom surrounding his yard at present getting a pound from fellow four-year-old and 13lb from Hartur D'Oudairies, who is having a first run since second at Exeter in November but has been waiting for better ground. Bubble Dubi makes his handicap debut but remains winless.
