Verdict

The most sizeable field of the afternoon, but no shortage of what could most politely be termed as moderate horses, so the list of likely winners is fairly brief. Both Sultans Pride and Sweet As Candy contested a decent little bumper at this track last month, and look prime candidates to step forward immeasurably now granted a longer trip over hurdles. Similar comments also apply to Irish point-to-point scorer The Great Getaway. Snapdragon Fire has shown a reasonable level of form for Tom Lacey and is likely to seek to dominate from the front, but he'll prove vulnerable over this trip at the business end, so by far the safest option is the debut Hexham scorer SILVA ECLIPSE. His form mightn't necessarily equate to all that much, and he tackles a new trip today, but he couldn't have done anything more to impress than he did at the Northumberland track, and this looks a good option to defy the penalty.
