Never To Be had an easier chance when favourite for a seller here a fortnight ago but finished well behind the winner in second. JIMMY'S HALL makes more appeal as he went close when third in a handicap over track and trip last month and has the beating of recent course runner-up Sewn Up on today's terms. Hercullian Prince also has a shout at the weights and makes more appeal than Logans Lad, a course-and-distance winner back in September. Mujazif drops in class having tumbled down the handicap last year and is worth noting in the betting.
