    Verdict

    Jupon Vert, Croft and Macreater may be the ones to focus on here, with last time out winner Jupon Vert given the nod. Croft came with a strong late run last time at Towcester but didn¿t quite get there. He has been raised six pounds which seems harsh, and this flatter track may not suit him as well. Macreater has not won for three years but has been combining hurdles with fences recently to decent effect. He races off a lower mark over the bigger obstacles and he can reach the frame. Jupon Vert landed a seller at Fontwell last time, given an enterprising ride from the front. He has been raised 11 pounds for his first win in over a year, and though he takes a rise in class here, this is a moderate affair and Jupon Vert can score again.
