Verdict

Lukie Victor was engaged in a chase at Fakenham yesterday but could be interesting if making a swift reappearance here. LOCO GRANDE was also last seen over the larger obstacles and has been noted staying on at the end of shorter trips. The switch back to hurdles shouldn't be a problem for Tim Vaughan's six-year-old and he can take advantage of this drop in grade. Low Delta and Vacario are both regulars at this level but neither are prolific winners and they may have to settle for a place again today.
