The conditions have to be a concern for Snobbery and Hello Bertie who would be expected to profit from the weight they receive from GOLDEN JEFFREY under better conditions. The latter is not a natural jumper yet but is a resolute galloper who scored on heavy ground last winter. He benefitted from some generous allowances to beat a Gordon Elliott hotpot at Cartmel but has been found a good opportunity to follow up. Trongate is another who will cope with the surface. He will come into his own over further but will appreciate the pace that will be set by the selection and looks the main threat if fit and ready.
