Verdict

BIG MEADOW (NAP) came right back to form at Chepstow a week ago. He escapes a penalty and is due to go up 6lb from next week. It must be significant that Bryony Frost switches from September’s Newton Abbot winner Findusatgorcombe. Guerrilla Tactics wasn’t beaten far back over fences at Kempton but the handicapper is refusing to release his grip. This stiffer track should suit unexposed Huntingdon runner-up Almost Gold and Midnight Magic has been in good form, though soft ground would be a major concern. Itsamanslife has been raised 2lb for finishing second at Bangor while Big Time Frank is now 0-19.
