Verdict

GOING CONCERN came good on his third start over fences when scoring at Cartmel last month. He's up 6lb but is less exposed than Gud Day. The latter still looks a shade high in the weights on the evidence of recent placed efforts but Lysino has every chance on his promising third at Worcester when chasing for the first time. The remainder are harder to fancy with Amuse Me possibly the best of them.
