PETERBOROUGH won off a 5lb higher mark over fences in February. His last win over the smaller obstacles also came off a higher mark than today’s so he is difficult to oppose here with Isobel Williams taking off 3lb. Karannelle is probably gearing up for a summer campaign while Kolisi has been a huge disappointment over hurdles but the progressive South Mountain is interesting making his handicap debut. Balleticon hasn’t won since his debut and needs softer going.
