Nobby is penalised for a narrow victory over the track and trip in May but has to be respected as he'd made a bright start under Rules on the course earlier. Fubar attracted strong support at Ascot after an encouraging debut at Market Rasen and further progress is likely but THE MACON LUGNATIC looks to have come up against an above-average winner at Uttoxeter and can go one better. Allonok started favourite on his debut at Chepstow but was well beaten while Mr Woody looks one for the future as he's from a decent jumping family.
