Verdict

Worcester third Merry Terry should figure in this, despite top weight, while Papradon is usually thereabouts at this level though does struggle to get his head in front. Carriglea Wood should make a bold bid to follow up last month's win in a novices' handicap at Uttoxeter but A BID TOO FAR was well backed on his reappearance over hurdles at Worcester and could be interesting on his first start over fences. He's unexposed in contrast to many of these and is Lawney Hill's only runner at the track today.
