In depth

Verdict

Solo has only finished out of the frame once so far in four runs over fences but Fakir is only 1-8 over the larger obstacles and was very disappointing at Fakenham after his victory at Fontwell. Hudson De Grugy is 3-5 around here over hurdles and should make a chaser but a similar comment applies to GIT MAKER. Already a winner between the flags, he won three times over timber last season though his only defeat came on this track. Mumbo Jumbo can only improve on his second at Uttoxeter and will surely be winning soon.
