Verdict

Outcrop was much better last time at Ffos Las while Wot A Shot rarely runs a bad race here. However, Nicky Richards’ 10-year-old was behind STRONG TEAM (NAP) last time and Chris Grant’s charge is fancied to record back-to-back victories in this, despite racing off a 15lb higher mark than 12 months ago. Blooriedotcom makes his handicap debut after just the three runs and is worth a second look but Hexham winner Frightened Rabbit has been found wanting stepped up to this grade in the past. Santa Anna has placed the last twice while Golden Town pulled off a 66/1 shock at Sedgefield but is hard to catch right.
