Verdict

NEW REPUBLIC (NAP) made a successful handicap debut at Wincanton on Saturday and a 7lb penalty is negated by Conor Ring's 3lb claim so a quick double looks on the cards. Bring Back Charlie won a similar class handicap at Uttoxeter in October but hasn't done as well in two subsequent runs but Edgar won over fences during the summer and a recent run on the Flat should have put him straight for this. Pursuitofhappiness is another who has been running over fences but his latest form figures tell their own story and Wazowski hasn't kicked on from landing a novices' hurdle at Hexham in June.
