Verdict
The Steward is ultra-consistent but getting no help from the handicapper as a consequence. Snowed In runs his best races here and Barbara Butterworth has booked Brian Hughes for her grey, who can make a race of it with likely favourite JIMMY RABBITTE (NAP). He won easily at Taunton on his first run for Richard Newland and escapes a penalty in this. Midnight Walk won off a higher mark over fences last season but hasn’t raced since May but Lester Kris has placed in both starts for his new yard and should run his race.
