Verdict
This looks the weaker of the two divisions with only a token vote going to FRED LE MACON, a dual winner over hurdles last year and lightly raced over fences. He was prominent for a long way over 3m in a higher grade at Kelso last time. My Idea represents last year’s winning stable and has been placed around here in the past but course winner See Double You has been feeling his age recently. It’s more than a year since Ever So Much showed any form and he’s probably watched again today.
