Verdict
Mr Snoozy was in good form in sellers earlier in the year and won at Wetherby when last seen in action. But SHRUBLAND has now won three of his last four starts over hurdles with last month’s success over 2m4f here his latest. He looks capable of defying a 5lb rise in his current form. Toarmandowithlove was placed at Cartmel in May and looks best of the remainder given Crookstown continues to struggle and Simple As That has shown nothing so far.
