Verdict

Only three to post but it's an intriguing little heat. Switch Hitter is hardest to assess as he makes his chasing debut here but obviously the inmate - a useful hurdler - of the champion trainer must be taken very seriously. NO ANXIETY jumped well and stuck on strongly when obliging over course and distance and looks like making up into an interesting sort over fences. He receives weight from both opponents and is taken to follow up. Outonpatrol came good at Ludlow last time and is a consistent performer for his in-form team. He always seems to run his race but the Snowden charge is just preferred on this occasion in a tricky affair.
