Third Act had been in decent form over hurdles prior to his third over fences at Wincanton but is still creeping up the weights. Ding Ding has done all of her wining so far at Plumpton but Letemgo got back to winning ways over course and distance last month and is only 4lb higher. GREYED A was below par at Ludlow last month but the step up in trip was a legitimate excuse. Richard Newland has got some improvement out of the grey this season and this looks a good opportunity to get back on track. Beer Goggles was third at Exeter on Friday so his participation may be in doubt but Seas Of Green has found some form lately and Paul Cowley’s mare can’t be ignored.
