RAFFLES NOBU hasn't fully fired since leaving Nicky Henderson but shaped with plenty of encouragement when fourth at this course 17 days ago, travelling strongly before the 20f trip found him out. The drop back to 2m looks ideal and, with blinkers reapplied, he can get back on track. Ask Peter ran well at Taunton on Tuesday, while A Mere Bagatelle is entitled to come on significantly for his recent return from a five-month absence.
