Hidden Cargo was engaged yesterday at Cartmel so that result should be monitored. Jack Snipe weakened quickly at Stratford but this shorter trip should suit. Midnight Magic was third over course and distance last month but still 6lb higher than for his only win over fences. Only beaten a neck by a subsequent winner over 2m4f here on his first try over fences, there should be plenty more to come from the lightly-raced ANYWAYYOULOOKATIT (NAP) who can go one better today.
