In depth

Verdict

Being Global, Nafaath, Hill Fort and SARPECH have all won over hurdles this year and all can effectively race off lower marks today if their riders allowances are taken into account. The latter makes most appeal of that quartet on last week’s fifth at Cheltenham and Charlie Longsdon’s charge gets the nod. A Boy Named Suzi has slipped down the weights and was placed in a higher grade at Stratford back in May while Baby Jake was successful at Cartmel during the summer on an earlier trip over from Ireland.
