Bronson F'Sure looked a different horse when running away with a weak contest at Huntingdon last time out and is taken to score again at the main expense of Good Book, Needle Prick, and Over the Storm. The selection won despite his jockey putting up 6lbs over-weight and if porky Pogson has stayed off the bacon he should have no worries with today's weight of 11 stone 8 pounds. His jumping is good in the main and with ground conditions to his liking once more, he may take some pegging back. Good Book is likely to be up there with the pace after a fine display of jumping saw him victorious last time out and a despite a 7lb penalty he should still be very competitive. Needle Prick hasn't gone on over hurdles since winning a seller in October, however a switch to fences may see him in a better light and market support should be noted. Iloveturtle is hit-and-miss but certainly has claims if on a going day, whilst Forest Dante is returning from a lengthy break and the old boy may just need the run. Over The Storm has place claims at a decent price, however for the winner we will return to Bronson F'Sure.
