Verdict
Altiepix has been placed in three of his four starts since joining Kerry Lee and should be thereabouts again. The Yank won at Ludlow last month but then disappointed at Market Rasen. Winning hurdler Beyeh is very interesting off bottom weight as she’s having just her third start over fences and was second behind a decent novice at Ludlow in March but we’ll stick with the in-form MODELIGO as he won over further here last month having scored earlier over this trip on soft ground at Chepstow.
