Verdict

Jonjo O'Neill holds a strong hand in next month's Grand National and can collect in the Midlands version too with TIME TO GET UP, who had plenty left in the tank when scoring at Wincanton and remains very much at the right end of the handicap after just three chase starts. Irish-challenger Screaming Colours is another progressive sort and feared most, with Highland Hunter much respected too.
