Something seemed to be amiss with ADMIRAL STEWART (1) when he pulled up at Southwell in November. The Jamie Snowden team remain in excellent form at present and no surprise were he to bounce back with a better effort given some of his useful hurdling form. NORN IRON (2) holds obvious claims racing off the same mark as when following home a progressive performer making his fencing debut at Warwick last time. It's hard to rule out BOND BROKER (3) who is two from four tackling the trip. Went well enough to compete off this mark when second at Newton Abbot in October. KOUKEO (4) completes the quartet.
