Verdict
GUETAPAN COLLONGES (NAP) was having only his fifth start when getting off the mark over 2m4f at Huntingdon where he was well supported. He's up 6lb but has the scope and pedigree to do better and can complete a double. Follow Your Fire had been running poorly over hurdles before making a successful debut over fences at Wetherby last week and reverts to hurdling on the same mark. Getaway Jewel caught the eye of the stewards when fourth here in December then was well supported at Catterick a few days later but never quite got there. He ran very well on a return visit to the latter track last month and has to be respected under Brian Hughes though Be The Difference wasn't far behind and has place claims. The latter's yard also run Romeo Brown, who has been running in bumpers at Newcastle. Cash Again had mainly been running over fences before landing a course and distance handicap and though raised 4lb Kevin Brogan's claim takes care of the extra.
