Verdict
Mr Cardle is 0-16 under Rules but he was third in a handicap at Taunton last month. However, the one to beat is probably PRIDE OF PARISH (NAP) as he has won two of his last three between the flags. Street Entertainer has won eight times over hurdles but never over fences, though has been in decent form in modest company in point-to-points recently. I Wonder Why is also worth a second look.
