Verdict

Innisfree Lad would have decent claims if turning up but was due to run yesterday at Carlisle. Jamessaintpatrick could be capable of better now going chasing and a switch to the larger obstacles could also benefit Eleanor Bob. Favori De Sivola is on a roll and will make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick despite a further 7lb rise. Suited by the mud, EVERYTHING NOW found only a decent novice too good over hurdles here last time. All of his siblings have won over fences and Tom Symonds’ seven-year-old is expected to follow suit sooner rather than later. Normandy Soldier is tried in cheekpieces after a poor run at Exeter in a race in which Minella Bobo was pulled up. Coral and A Time To Shine are others worthy of a mention.
