Verdict

Begoodtoyourself has only gone up 3lb for winning at Huntingdon. Getaway Jewel is fractionally better off than when beaten under a length by Arbennig at Fakenham and there should be little between them here but Grand Revival has been struggling over hurdles and on the Flat. BAREST OF MARGINS has placed in a bumper and over hurdles and he wouldn’t need to be a world-beater to make a winning start over fences.
