Verdict
Raashdy made late headway when third at Fakenham but never threatened the first two. Mon Port will likely have benefited from his run at Carlisle and has won three times over hurdles but CHEF DE TROUPE easily won a Perth handicap in September and should be good enough to give the weight away in an uninspiring claimer. The four-year-old Lyrical Ballad looks best of the rest.
