Verdict
Baratineur remains 4lb higher than when winning last year’s renewal in heavy going while The Herds Garden returned to action with a second at Uttoxeter and has every chance. But RAGAMUFFIN (NAP) has improved for a wind operation and having won easily at Ffos Las last time, Neil Mulholland’s charge should make another bold bid despite today’s penalty as he’s due to be raised by 10lb after this. Stupid Cupid usually fails to complete though won over fences when doing so at Ludlow in October while Minella Away looks high enough in the weights on his first outing for new connections and Bang On continues to struggle.
