Verdict

Cracking Destiny was favourite at Taunton after winning at Wincanton but only managed third and progress may have stalled for the moment but Thomas Blossom returns on a hat-trick after wins in the autumn at Exeter and Hereford, though has changed stables. QUANTUM OF SOLACE (NAP) was a very easy winner at Ludlow last month and can shrug off a 9lb rise given he’s yet to finish out of the first two over fences. Glance Back won here last season and was also successful at Bangor in December so rates a danger but the others appear to have something to find.
