HOME RUN (NAP) drops into Class C grade for the first time since landing a Cheltenham handicap in November 2013. He's also dropped slightly in the weights and looked on the way back when last seen in the autumn. He can get back to winning ways though Malibu Sun, who was in excellent form last year including winning twice here, has to be respected. Harristown is another taking a welcome drop in class though he may not appreciate the quicker going while Ourmanmassini is still a maiden over jumps and hasn't made the expected progress.
