This looks a race in which it’s probably best to keep stakes to a minimum with only Ratoute Yutty having run over fences so far. A tentative vote goes to FIBONACCI, who was 0-7 over hurdles but did attract market support at Warwick when last seen and is now tried in cheekpieces – he won on the Flat in July. Loco Coco still has plenty of scope but lacks a recent run whereas Somekindofstar wasn’t disgraced over hurdles here four weeks ago.
