Verdict

Lawney Hill has no qualms about pitching Leicester winner EVERYTHING’SONTICK against novices from bigger yards. He was quite impressive at the Midlands track when keeping on well to get the better of the subsequent Sandown winner Animal. Wiseguy placed over hurdles here last season and made a winning start over fences at Exeter so can’t be ignored and Midnight Our Fred was second on the Old Course here in the autumn. Mofasa improved on his Worcester second when winning at Huntingdon and Are U Wise To That has taken well to fences. Weveallbeencaught still has time on his side and Some Scope beat more experienced rivals at Catterick.
