Verdict
The Paddy Pie is hard to catch right and Heartbreak Kid has become disappointing so this may chiefly rest between NORLEY (NAP) and Gabriel’s Getaway. The latter is 3-3 over fences but the former has a bit more scope having made an impressive winning start over the larger obstacles at Huntingdon. Gouet Des Breyeres has had a quick turnaround having finished third at Newcastle on Tuesday.
