This can go the way of NOVAK, who got firmly back on track when finishing runner-up at Southwell just over 3 weeks ago and Iain Jardine's 5-y-o looks good to go a place better back sprinting. His main threat may come from Bright, who made a good start to life in handicaps when third over C&D last month, with the consistent Grenham Bay and Golden Passport another couple to consider.
