Caspers Court has only gone up 4lb for winning at Wincanton and Ben Godfrey takes off 3lb again. He looks a better bet than chaser Forget You Not, who hasn’t raced over the smaller obstacles since 2019. Hazy Dream is still a maiden but has hinted at ability and placed in a bumper here the season before last. WEST ORCHARD was in front and still travelling with purpose when swerving and running out at the second-last at Fontwell last month. Providing there is no repeat of that blip, he can recoup losses here.
