Verdict
Afta Party finished tailed off at Plumpton after winning at Newton Abbot. Onethreefivenotout was pulled up on his hurdling debut at Chepstow and stablemate Banteer also looks up against it here with LUMP SUM in the line-up. Sam Thomas’ five-year-old bolted up at Ffos Las and is destined for bigger things than this. Mountain Pass looks the pick of the remainder and will significantly be eligible for handicaps after this.
