Verdict

Fly Home Harry, a dual bumper winner, didn't do so well over hurdles but has really taken to fences and gained his second victory in five starts when scoring narrowly from today's rival Annamult, who is 2lb better off, over this course and distance a fortnight ago for which he's been raised 5lb. MIDNIGHT JADE won a novices' handicap over slightly further here in February and led for a long way on her reappearance at Warwick so should be ready for this and looks the one to be on. The Last Bridge hasn't won since March 2014 but has been placed on numerous occasions and has dropped to a feasible mark. Richard Johnson is back on board and a big run is anticipated. The veteran That's The Deal hasn't won since 2013 and has been beaten off lower marks than this in recent weeks.
