Verdict

Mr Grey Sky has only run once this season when failing to take to fences at Hereford in December. Zambezi Fix beat a decent yardstick at Chepstow last month but LIBBERTY HUNTER probably has more scope having got off the mark in a novice event at the same track in January. JPR One is having a first run since last year’s Supreme Novices’ while In The Air and course and distance winner Mamoon Star will need to take a step forward to be competitive at this level.
