In depth

Verdict

Higgs is jumping fences relatively late in life but he does have a couple of seconds to his name. Just Go For It has won twice over hurdles at Wincanton since a couple of tries over fences around the turn of the year and it’s probably too soon to give up on Grizzly James. But FAMILY POT’s run when on a hat-trick here last time was too bad to be true and Sheila Lewis’ grey may be worth another chance. Loud As Lions, Layerthorpe and Leskinfere must also have some sort of chance.
