The Same made a winning handicap and chasing debut when successful at Market Rasen. There’s more to come from him over fences but he is upped in trip and class for this and raised 9lb. TWINJETS has gone up the same amount but he won over today’s distance in this grade at Doncaster on his debut for Paul Nicholls’ yard and that superior form may give him the edge in this match.
