Verdict
Be Daring has gone close in lower grade handicaps recently including his latest start at Plumpton. Le Capricieux was partnered by a 10lb claimer when placed at Kempton while stablemate GUARDS CHAPEL found one too good at Lingfield the last time he competed over hurdles in December. A conditional’s allowance helps the latter’s cause today and Gary Moore’s charge may well come out best. Magoo won over hurdles in France back in 2016 and makes his reappearance having joined Paul Nicholls’ yard subsequently while Miss Adventure was placed in an all-weather bumper at Southwell recently.
