Verdict
Sleepy Haven has won from higher marks but not for a very long time though he shouldn't be dismissed. Zig Zag won off this mark at Wetherby in January but was tailed off at Hexham last time while Movie Set's recent victory at Fakenham was in a seller. Little Stevie won a Class 5 handicap at Worcester before beaten over fences at Perth while Noah And The Ark hasn't run since November and could just need the outing. The latter's stable companion THE HERDS GARDEN is consistent enough at this level and with Lorcan Murtagh able to claim in this conditionals' race the ten-year-old can get back to winning ways.
