Verdict

No Return wasn't disgraced in fourth at Lingfield last month and commands respect along with Ingleby Archie, who finished third at Catterick on his latest outing. However, NOVAK was beaten a length into second over 7f at Ayr latest and this drop back in trip looks a good move. Iain Jardine's gelding looks the way to go racing off the same mark.

Top Tip: Novak (6)
Watch out for: No Return (1)

This can go to the hat-trick chasing JET WARRIOR, who is up 5lb following a second straight win at Ripon but only seems to do enough and could have a bit yet up his sleeve. Former C&D winner Novak looks the main threat, having returned to form when runner-up at Ayr last time, and the drop to 6f from 7f won't be an issue. Another to consider is Ingleby Archie, who has run two decent races since reappearing and should be at a peak now.
