Verdict

Norab won nicely at Fontwell last month and should go well again despite a penalty but THREE STAR GENERAL (NAP) makes more appeal. The latter beat a subsequent winner with the rest nowhere over course and distance recently and gets the vote on the strength of that form. Whatzdjazz can be given a chance on these terms despite returning a losing favourite at Newton Abbot in May but the remainder look up against it including It’s A Steal.
