Race preview
Nobel could have more to offer this season and he's not one to take lightly now entering handicaps off what looks a fair opening mark. Preference, however, is for C&D winner EEETEE, who bounced back to form with a ready success at Haydock last month. The five-year-old looks more than capable of shrugging off a 4lb rise. Lightening Company also returned to winning ways at Pontefract last month and is another of interest for an in-form yard.
