Verdict

This is a competitive novices’ handicap. Baron De Midleton is 0-12 over fences but has gone close on a few occasions and should be thereabouts again. Global Fame was thrown in at the deep end at Chepstow but is conceding weight all round here. Broadway Joe is having a rare run away from Musselburgh but is 14lb better off for a seven-length defeat by DOUGLAS TALKING (NAP) at that track last month. Lucinda Russell’s six-year-old has since bolted up at Sandown, however, and may be the more progressive. Cilluirid may be too high in the weights now but Ahead Of The Field is a pound lower than when second to a subsequent winner here in January and Lakota Warrior should make a chaser.
