Verdict

Ludlow runner-up Nigh Or Never should have more scope than Marettimo despite the pair having similar claims on the form book. Spirit Of Rome was second to a useful filly at Fontwell on Boxing Day and should know more today but she would have been getting 25lb from SABLE ISLAND if this were a Flat race. Olly Murphy’s hurdling newcomer won a Chester maiden for Sir Michael Stoute last August and may have too much class for these if his jumping is up to scratch. Broughtons Admiral was a maiden on the level but placed over 2m so shouldn’t fail through lack of stamina.
