      Verdict

      Strumble Head won over track and trip recently to end a long losing run but has gone straight back up the weights to the tune of 9lb. Velator last won in 2014 when scoring over course and distance but went close off today’s mark at Worcester during the week. Miss Serious and According To Harry ran well enough to place on their latest outings but RUDDY ARTICLE (NAP) gets another chance. He was pulled-up after a bad mistake at Worcester last time but had gone close to catching The Tourard Man, rated 137, in a novice chase earlier and gets the nod on that form.
