Verdict
CALL ME VIC hasn't found much off the bridle in his two runs over hurdles so far but has only found one too good and this sharp track should suit Tom George's front-runner, who can get off the mark. He gets 6lb from Chepstow scorer Robbers Roost but the latter is the only conceivable danger on the form book, though Rock Me Zippo wasn't beaten far by a subsequent hurdles winner in a point-to-point last year.
