Verdict
Drewmain Legend is still 10lb higher than when landing this two years ago and fell at the second back over fences at Newcastle. Caspers Court bids to make it third-time lucky over fences after seconds at Ludlow and Fontwell but DISCKO DES PLAGES has been running well off this sort of mark in slightly stronger contests and can pick up a second victory over the larger obstacles as long as the ground doesn’t dry out any further. Mouseinthehouse is starting to slip down the weights again and looks the pick of the remainder.
