Verdict

This looks something of a lottery with recent Fakenham runner-up HELIUM getting the nod given he’s won off a much higher mark over fences before. Jaunty Thor’s winning run came to an end at Uttoxeter last month and he gets first-time headgear but Leading Score has a shout on his earlier second at Cartmel. Crakehall Lad won a maiden hurdle at the latter track during the summer while Cloud Monkey was runner-up over a longer trip here on his penultimate start. Juvenile hurdle winner Heaven Scent will find this is easier than his latest task in a Listed event at Aintree and course winner Snowed In has slid down the weights.
