Verdict

Despite some hit-and-miss jumping, SONGO still proved a class apart when opening his account in this sphere in a C&D novice 5 weeks ago and, in the hope he's sharper in that department, a bold showing could be on the cards again under a penalty. Donnie Azoff, returned to timber, may emerge as the lead threat, with Spitalfield and Blackacre another couple to note.

  1. SONGO (IRE)
  2. DONNIE AZOFF (IRE)
  3. SPITALFIELD (IRE)
