Verdict

Norley has been in good form over hurdles this term but was beaten 20 lengths in his fencing bow here in October. Southwell winner Maninsane was more than eight lengths behind GREAT HEART’JAC here in February and is only 3lb better off. Fergal O’Brien’s charge has won again since at Leicester and has taken well to chasing. Cartonne holds Charles Ritz on Ludlow form and can’t be ignored.
