FIRMAMENT (NAP) is Jeremy Noseda's only runner here tonight and can open his account on the all-weather. He will have learned plenty from his staying-on fourth over a mile at Kempton and this slightly longer trip should be right up his street. He has the beating of Fleckerl on the form book but Jodies Jem is interesting after a pipe-opener at Chelmsford as he looks well treated at present. Obsidian also has claims and Sarsted is better than he's shown in his last two starts but Ambleside has more on his plate than when landing a Class 5 event here at the start of the month as the drop in distance may not suit.
