Verdict
PELTWELL completed a four-timer in March culminating in a convincing victory at this level at Hexham. He's 10lb higher but can complete a five-timer. Theocrat was brought with a nicely-timed run to catch Glimpse Of Gold at Worcester but the latter has much the better of the weights this time and should reverse the form. Tonyx landed a Sedgefield novices' event by 25l but was beaten when falling at Taunton next time while Enlighten hasn't run since beaten a neck in a jumpers' bumper at Newcastle in January though any money for him would be worth noting.
