Had two subsequent winners behind when scoring in similar conditions at Uttoxeter. Found conditions too quick last time but a contender now dropped in grade.
Has struck up a good partnership with today's rider and has to defy a further 7lb rise in the weights. Hard to oppose in his current mood.
Has conditions to suit but he ran poorly on reappearance. Yard back amongst the winners over the past few days but still difficult to fancy unless the market suggests that run should be excused.
Improved last season for the application of a hood. Not the most fluent of jumpers and others are preferred.
Hexham specialist who will probably need this first run of the campaign. Handicap mark looks plenty high enough.
Forecasts
Nortonthorpelegend (6/4), Newtown Lad (2/1), Whiskey Chaser (11/2), The Orange Rogue (13/2), Flaming Thistle (14/1)
NORTONTHORPELEGEND has been well placed to complete a double over fences and connections look to have found another ideal opportunity. Newtown Lad is feared most judged on his Uttoxeter win and with his stable showing signs of form. The Orange Rogue is capable of a bold show if eliminating errors from his jumping.
