Verdict

None of these arrive in great form though SNAPPING TURTLE won at Catterick last month in between a couple of poor efforts - the veteran may be worth another chance. Bescot Springs won at Hexham in November but has been beaten a distance in both subsequent starts while though Brae On finished second off a higher mark last year he hasn’t raced since May. It’s difficult to find any form worthy a mention among the remainder in a weak handicap.
