Verdict

This looks a very tight handicap complicated by Nigel Twiston-Davies saddling Listen Boy and Count Geido Deiro. The former has returned from a long absence in good form, scoring at Uttoxeter before falling early at Newbury, while the latter landed a handicap at Wincanton on Boxing Day before a couple of moderate runs in the spring. Beforeall also scored on Boxing Day at Ffos Las and will be better suited by the heavy ground than most while Harouet has won five times over fences and is perfectly capable of taking this despite a long absence. Fergal Mael Duin has only had three runs over fences and may find this tough as may the youngster Dan's Wee Man and the hat-trick seeking Tothemoonandback, who has shot up the weights. TAKE THE MICK ploughed through the Ludlow mud in February for a very easy victory and with conditions in his favour he's taken to make a successful reappearance.
