Verdict
Trakeur has been placed over track and trip and could have each-way claims off a low weight with Thomas Cheesman taking off a further 7lb. Houseparty bounced back to form over a shorter trip here last time while La Madonnina would have followed up an earlier win here at Fakenham last time had she not come to grief when in front at the last. HERECOMESTHETRUTH was a smart performer over fences a few years ago but was winning for the first time since 2009 when successful at Huntingdon two weeks ago. He's only been raised 2lb for that and can show he is no back number by scoring again.
