Verdict
GUARACHA is penalised for last week's win at Taunton but has little to fear from today's opposition on recent form. It was fast ground at Taunton but Alexandra Dunn's charge won over hurdles in testing going at Plumpton earlier this year. Edlomond went close at Towcester last month only to disappoint at Fontwell last time while Money For Nothing ran into a place at Catterick before a poor effort at the same track. Mandy's Boy was still beaten out of sight when runner-up at Fakenham and the remainder are even harder to fancy.
