Verdict
Second at Warwick in one of only three runs over hurdles last year, FAT SAM has won three times over fences since and can take advantage of the 7lb he receives from the Ludlow maiden winner Accidental Rebel. Goleirihem made the frame at Uttoxeter last season and again on his reappearance at Market Rasen so can’t be ignored.
