Old Rascals bled after finishing tailed off here in November. He’s been hard to train in recent times and is best watched after another break. Supremely Lucky is back over fences after a confidence-boosting victory over hurdles at Warwick but is running out of time to make an impact over the larger obstacles. The Captains Inn hasn’t looked the same horse that won twice over timber a couple of years ago so this is best left to CORRANY, who is 0-9 but was second in a decent handicap at Fakenham last time and should last home on this sharp track.
