Verdict

Orchestrated found only one too good at Fakenham last time but was pulled up when Wavecrest won at Hereford back in November. Rizzardo is back on a winning mark but HELFORD RIVER may be in line to record a third victory over fences having finished second over this track and trip last month when a pound higher in the weights. Churchtown Glen is now 0-18 over the larger obstacles and has not been in the same form as last year.
