Verdict
Barnay is 0-6 over fences but was third at Catterick earlier this month in a better race than this. Chasing debutant Moot Court is worth a second look, despite a lengthy absence, and Cloudy Wednesday doesn’t have much more to do than at Fakenham raised only 3lb. YA KNOW YASEFF ran his best race to date over hurdles last month at Fakenham. He won an Irish point-to-point less than a year ago so should do better over the larger obstacles.
