Verdict
CRAIGMOR had been in good form over hurdles before unseating at the first back over fences here last time. He’s worth another chance dropping down a grade. Cage Of Fear never threatened the winner at Market Rasen on his chasing debut but will have benefitted for the experience and is preferred to Craiganboy, who returns to action having placed in soft going on a couple of occasions at the start of the year. Trongate drops back down in class looking to end a long losing run and Gangster should be sharper today.
