Verdict

JUST A NORMAL DAY has banged on the door since joining his current yard and ought to close under the champion jockey have run a fine race (second) at Cork last time. He is the logical choice ahead of February C&D winner Tongie, who ran well in better company towards the backend of last season, and a handy pipe opener in a charity contest at Punchestown a week ago to put him right for this. Race fitness is a concern for the likes of Shrewdoperator and Baby Jake but both could have a say if ready to go.
