In depth

Verdict

A few of these have been hurdling including Nashville, only 2lb higher than when scoring on the Flat at Ayr last year. Mr Snoozy is not badly treated either on his return to the Flat and Streets Of Newyork won over hurdles here in February. But Handiwork is rated higher than all of the above over timber and won on the level at Catterick in October. Royal Signaller will have come on for a recent outing at Wolverhampton and BE PERFECT (NAP) ran well over 1m4f on his first start for Ruth Carr at Lingfield last month. The latter gets the nod having finished second over 2m at Beverley off a higher mark in August.
