JUDGE EARLE’s easy win at Uttoxeter eight days ago was his sixth over fences. He drops down a grade for this and, despite a penalty, can score again. Jet Smart was well clear of Talkingthetalk when second to Tiger Orchid here last month and can improve on that. No Worries should be approaching peak fitness but Sermando is going chasing late in life.
