        Verdict

        Recent Fakenham winner, Bed Bug looks to have been found a decent opportunity to post a follow up success. Iacacia and Circle of Wolves appearing the most likely dangers. With Mick Fitzgerald likely to have come to Fakenham for this ride, it looks very difficult to oppose Bed Bug. His recent defeat of Dick Turpin is far superior to any other form in this contest and a follow-up is incredibly likely barring accidents. Venetia Williams' Iacacia has to respected in the grade. He has struggled since his return to the track from absence but there were plenty of positive reports about him when he arrived from the provinces. Circle of Wolves would probably need further than this and is still a maiden after numerous appearances. Macreater has bits and pieces of form in National Hunt Flat races and is watched in the market. Grand Prompt has been at big odds on all his racecourse starts and has plenty to do at the weights. The rest make little appeal.
