NOBLE CONSORT (5) won with plenty to spare tackling this trip at Southwell. Could take some stopping off 7lb higher rating. A main threat may come from INSTANT BOND (2) who steps back up to 6f on handicap debut after three fair efforts among novice company last season. The well-treated BILL PLUMB (1) is three from ten on AW and dangerous to ignore with first-time tongue-tie fitted. DARK SIDE PRINCE (4) might be in the mix after finishing third over 5f at this course last start.
