Verdict

Midnight Mustang bids for a treble on his reappearance having landed a double back in February but is 7lb higher today. Over My Head also returns from a lay-off but he’s slipped down the weights while Armedandbeautiful was second at Fakenham before struggling on her latest start. Clenagh Castle ran well for a long way at Ludlow on last month’s debut over fences but another chance goes to BECAUSESHESAIDSO, a runner-up at Lingfield when sent off favourite on his latest start and looking to face a slightly easier task in this.
