Verdict

Mint Condition was second in the Grade 2 hurdle on this card last year and has run two solid races over fences at Haydock. Mossy Fen won that same Grade 2 12 months earlier but has yet to show much aptitude for chasing and has a considerable absence to overcome. Doyen Breed is a strong stayer but was beaten in a novices’ handicap at Kelso after winning at Hexham while Any News tries a new trip. THREEUNDERTHRUFIVE has a penalty for winning in this grade at Doncaster but he’s improved with every run and should complete the four-timer before heading to Cheltenham.
