Verdict
A couple of these won easily last time though Miss Amelia’s course and distance victory came back in October and she’s 8lb higher today. BEN BRODY has the more recent form with a victory over fences at Warwick a fortnight ago and is taken to defy a hike in the weights given he’s placed off much higher marks over hurdles in the past. Go As You Please was a less emphatic winner when scoring over a shorter trip at Leicester but Snougar is back on a winning mark and gets a change of headgear. Frankie Ballou placed again when runner-up at Sedgefield and is still looking to end a long losing run.
