Verdict

Jonny Eager won a novices handicap at Carlisle last month when Longueville Flier was pulled-up but was raised 17lb for that success. He's since been beaten at Ayr and SON OF SUZIE makes more appeal in this. The latter showed signs of a return to form when second at Bangor earlier in the month and he can race off the same mark here. Snuker has been raised 5lb for winning over hurdles at Sedgefield last month but has won off higher marks than this over fences before.
