Verdict
Crucial Moment is penalised for making a winning start over hurdles at Uttoxeter and has failed to threaten in subsequent efforts. Sommervieu has been placed over timber in France and debuts for Charlie Longsdon while Etoo Sport is another import from France having raced twice over hurdles at Strasbourg in October. A maiden winner on the Flat, First Up has yet to figure over timber and a chance is taken SPECIAL RELATION fares better than the latter in this code having been gelded since winning a handicap over 1m4f at Pontefract during the summer.
