Verdict
A tricky-looking handicap can go to top weight MR MEDIC, now 4lb lower than for his last victory. He’s not had much racing in the last couple of years but has a good record when running fresh. Ga Law jumped like an old hand when winning a novice event at Fontwell. The third has won since and Jamie Snowden’s four-year-old looks to have a future over the larger obstacles. Solar Impulse has been in decent form over the summer and Celtic Joy and Night Of Sin could also figure if fully wound-up.
