Verdict

William Henry represents last year’s winning yard but remains 8lb higher than when last successful and Monbeg Theatre is preferred returning to handicap company having been beaten in Grade 2 contests recently. Coeur Blimey is upped 7lb for winning at Hereford and Whatthebutlersaw is raised in class after going close over these hurdles. Mr Clarkson is not badly treated on past winning form as he returns to action but Rhythm Is A Dancer is another facing a more difficult task after scoring over track and trip and stablemate BLACK MISCHIEF makes more appeal. The latter continued his good progress when winning in this grade at Haydock and with a conditional’s allowance negating most of a 6lb rise, he gets a tentative vote in a competitive affair.
