Tough to rule out any on the septet but the verdict goes to NAB WOOD, who was a dual winner at Kelso around this time last year and showed plenty to work on returning from 11 months off just over 3 weeks ago. It's fair to say Park Annonciade didn't look a natural over fences, so Stuart Crawford's 7-y-o heads up the dangers back in this discipline, with Golden Maverick taken to edge out Ginger Mail for third spot.
