Verdict

Bumper winner Mr Scrumpy will build on his third at Market Rasen and may be the biggest threat to likely hot favourite GLINGER FLAME. Nicky Richards’ charge went close in a couple of maidens at Ayr before running away with a handicap here last month racing off a mark of 117. The assessor raised him 16lb for that so it’s probably a wise move to run him back in novice company under a penalty. Honourary Gift has won a bumper and a hurdle at Sedgefield but looks to have a bit to find against the selection off level weights.
