Verdict

Sheknowsyouknow beat three rivals in a mixed open at Siddington last month and will find this much tougher. Doof has been in fine form between the flags in this part of the country but has generally failed when tackling this grade. Armoury House has been successful in hunter-chase class and arrives here in good form so he may prove the main threat to MAN FROM HIGHWORTH, runner-up in a handicap chase at Newton Abbot last month.
