Verdict
Another race complicated by multiple entries with Broken Quest engaged in the 2.25 Cheltenham yesterday and Kauto Riko and Storm Control also in the 1.50 Cheltenham today. Numitor doesn’t stand much racing but is relatively straightforward and looked in need of the run at Newbury last month, tough stamina might be an issue over this trip. CASTLE ROBIN appeared to lose his action when pulled up at Cheltenham and is probably work another chance as Guy struggles to get his head in front. Marown has never won in handicap company and has gone up 2lb for finishing second at Ayr.
