Verdict

Jordan Gainford's booking for the lightly-raced Springfield Lodge catches the eye after a much better run at Clonmel. West Is Best lost his maiden tag over fences at the tenth time of asking and a 6lb rise is unlikely to prevent another good run. Rubiana went up 8lb for a comfortable victory on the track in October though that was over 2m7f and this could prove on the short side but CRACK ON CORRIE should be ideally suited by the trip. She's been alternating between hurdles and fences and though yet to win over the bigger obstacles after three starts has been runner-up in her last two and ran very well on her return from a break at Clonmel earlier this month. Fox Le Bel has been well supported on numerous occasions without doing the business but is now on his lowest mark.
