Verdict
Cash On Friday can take this at the expense of Zaffie Parson and Ever Special. The selection has crept up the weights during the winter months winning three times over fences in the process. Although he was beaten off a career high at Market Rasen last month he is still well treated over hurdles so connections are taking advantage of that. He is effect 22 pounds well in here compared with his chase mark and if translating his form he could prove difficult to beat. Zaffie Parson runs off a three pound higher mark than when finishing an eye catching second to Matmata de Tendron at Sedgefield last time out. He still retains a winnable mark as he has in the past won off higher so he has to be respected. As does Ever Special who has mountains of experience considering his age and he was seen somewhere near his best at Newcastle last time out when finishing second to Lady Sambury so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Cash On Friday.
