Mulcahys Hill is well treated nowadays but doesn’t look the force of old. BRIANSTORM (NAP) was pulled up on his reappearance but fared much better at Market Rasen two weeks ago when only collared close home by a well-backed favourite. Second off this mark in a much better race at Chepstow last March, he should be hard to beat today. Larkbarrow Lad can’t get much lower in the weights but is now 0-10 over fences and Esprit De Somoza might be back in the handicapper’s grip. Some Detail showed little over fences last season but Premiumaccess ran well on his reappearance at Fontwell and will strip fitter.
