Verdict
Saspys Lad was a game winner at Uttoxeter last time out and although he is creeping up the weights he will be hard to beat. Northern Tennesse looks the main danger he is entitled to come on for his last run his first after an absence when he was third to Sonevafushi and he looks capable of winning off this mark. Night Fighter jumped badly in a chase last time out and will appreciate the return to hurdles but he has never won off a mark this high and may be worth taking on. Broke Road will also like the ground but ran as if in the handicappers grip last time out when fourth. Xaipete is also worth a look in the market.
