      Verdict

      Recent Worcester winner Samson is no certainty here upped in grade off a 10lb higher mark and is taken on with Alastair Ralph’s mare INCLUDED, who has run well in defeat in a couple of decent races at Ffos Las and has taken well to fences. As You Like is sure to strip fitter for last month’s second here and is a danger to all, though Royal Magic was leading that latter contest when falling having won earlier at Southwell. Bramble Brook has form at a higher level but is a lot more exposed than his four rivals and the senior runner.
