Verdict

GOING FOR BROKE (NAP) went up 6lb for winning at Newton Abbot but is sure to improve for that first run over the larger obstacles and gets 5lb from Worcester scorer Adrrastos. Deauville Dancer is starting to look exposed over fences while Ravens Hill will need to improve on a well-beaten third at Uttoxeter to figure.
