Verdict

Bitasweetsymphony bounced back from a rare poor run at Catterick when third at Huntingdon but stamina might be an issue over this trip. On a lower mark than when a close fourth here in December, GET YOUR OWN continually jumped right when favourite for a small race at Catterick last time but the fitting of cheekpieces can help him steer a straighter course here. Animal ran well off this mark at Market Rasen after winning at Fakenham and looks a big danger.
