Verdict

Crafty Roberto is having a first run over the smaller obstacles in more than a year but he did win off a pound higher mark at Market Rasen last season. DELFACE (NAP) has been disappointing since winning at Ffos Las in May of last year but he’s tumbled down the weights and there was a hint of a revival when sixth at Taunton last month – this might not take much winning. The four-year-old Cold Shoulder runs in his first handicap and a case could also be made for Sneaking Budge but Uttoxeter third Georgieshore steps up in grade. Marmont could strip fitter for a run at Fontwell, however, and Catchin Time looks best of the rest.
