Verdict
Hey Bob won this a year ago then followed up at Cartmel, his seventh victory, mostly in plating class. WEEBILL reportedly lost a shoe when favourite at Stratford and is better judged on his victory in a claimer here earlier, his second success on the track. Gavin drops into this country for the first time and made a fair reappearance at Taunton but True Romance was a long way behind the selection in a Market Rasen seller on Boxing Day. Hayedo has been racing in Class 3 handicaps and takes a big drop in class so looks the main danger.
