Formscan - Dropped into class 5 company for the first time since winning easily at Southwell in June, NEIGH BOTHA is fancied to give weight and a beating to these rivals. He certainly wasn't disgraced in a 0-120 event, also at Southwell, most recently and the handicapper has been kind in dropping him 3lb in the ratings since. Natural Ability might have been freshened up by a recent stable switch and a repeat of his penultimate fourth over C&D should put him on the premises. A switch to fences may spark some improvement from the four-year-old Cofficionado.
