Verdict

JACK FROST got outpaced by Slowfoot last time at Ludlow but the latter looks a useful recruit. Nicky Henderson's novice had finished well ahead of Ho Lee Moses when winning a bumper at Fakenham in the autumn and should have too much for Hedley Lamarr. Richie McLernon's mount won narrowly at Warwick on his second start over timber but was still a bit novicey and appears to have a bit to find with the selection. Curious Carlos looks likely to do better when tackling handicaps.
