Verdict

CAVALRY SCOUT opened his account over fences in the testing going at Leicester last month. Laura Morgan’s charge may be worth sticking with despite a 7lb rise given Mymilan is now 10lb higher than when scoring over a shorter trip at Carlisle in December. Solid Strike’s only win over fences so far came in this race last year and he can race off the same mark today but Destiny Is All was still beaten a long way when third at Musselburgh recently.
