Jewson Stan Mellor Memorial Novices' Chase (GBB Race)
2m 54y
Going: Good (Good to Soft in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneThis contest proved a springboard to Grade 1 success for Allmankind last year and another talented field is assembled for this year's renewal with preference for Aintree Grade 1 runner-up DO YOUR JOB. Michael Scudamore's charge was unlucky to bump into both the County Hurdle winner and My Drogo at the back end of last season, and he is taken to make a winning start over fences here. Placed in the County himself and the Betfair Hurdle, Edwardstone sets a high standard but may prefer a bigger field, while For Pleasure is likely to make this a test.
