It's not getting any easier for punters as this is another wide-open contest. The handicapper has not over-reacted to Long Lunch's wide-margin victory at Chepstow. Mr Muddle and Comeonginger certainly have the form to figure while No Through Road looked to be on the way back at Uttoxeter recently, though has been raised 5lb since. PADDY THE DEEJAY has won a couple of point-to-points so his future definitely lies over the larger obstacles and he can improve on a couple of runs over fences at the end of last year. Gold Ingot has been knocking on the door of this sort of mark and is another with decent claims.
