Verdict

Newton Geronimo and Benissimo won in this grade on their latest starts at Fontwell and Southwell respectively and both have a rise in the weights to contend with. Eddiemaurice won a novice event at Ffos Las, his first win over timber in 12 attempts, while Mr Kit Cat won a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield last time. But KING MURO (NAP) landed a Class 3 handicap hurdle at Ludlow in April and having been placed off today’s mark at Market Rasen recently, Fergal O’Brien’s charge gets the nod to go in again.
