Verdict

Instingtive ran only two days ago at Carlisle and was well beaten but Hope For Glory hasn’t been seen since May of last year and Craiganboy also has an absence to overcome. CASUAL CAVALIER didn’t fare badly on his return to action and first run for new connections at Ffos Las. Soft ground suits and the 10-year-old, a course and distance winner, pops up now and again in races like this. Seven Devils has placed twice since returning to this trip and is likely to be thereabouts again as he had John Williams behind at Hexham, though the latter will strip fitter here. Mumgos Debut is well handicapped on his best form and is another to consider.
