Verdict
Long Call has only raced over fences once before and isn’t certain to stay this trip. Mascat didn’t impress with his jumping at Newton Abbot and improvement is required. Wetanwindy keeps finding one too good but Stanley Pincombe could be an interesting newcomer to chasing. HUELGOAT didn’t beat much at Newton Abbot but did it in grand style and a 9lb rise is probably justified.
