Football Crazy is taken to score his four-timer over hurdles with Reasonable Reserve, Ask Me What and Ambry all possible dangers. After his wins At Uttoxeter, Market Rasen and Worcester Football Crazy has only risen 11lbs and is taken to score again today. The yard has been in fantastic form this summer season and the horse can be forgiven his only blip this summer as that was on the level at Nottingham. He is tough and he stays and if reproducing his recent level of form can win again. Reasonable Reserve had found chase fences too demanding after a couple off mishaps but came good at Southwell last time out when beating favourite The Sister. This looks a tougher contest though and is not certain to follow up on that victory. Ask Me What scored well too last time out at Worcester but the fact that he steps up in trip which he¿s not certain to stay and with his 7lb penalty things will not be as straightforward today and for that reason is over looked. Ambry is weighted to win a contest at this level. He ran as well as could be expected in a Class B handicap on his latest run behind Mr Ed over three miles but may find one too good for him today. So for the winner we return to Football Crazy.
