Leg Lock Luke finally got his head in front over fences when scoring at Taunton recently. Colin Tizzard’s charge won with plenty to spare but so did SILENT MAN at Huntingdon. The latter was having only his second start over fences on that occasion and there should be more to come from Tom Weston’s charge today. The Artful Cobbler finished a long way behind the selection on his reappearance while Go On Henry got no further than the first before unseating last time having won over 2m4f here before that. Clenagh Castle returns to regulation fences having won a couple of point-to-points this year.
