Verdict
Lord Sparky won over fences here recently but hasn’t won over timber since 2019 and BARELY FAMOUS (NAP) makes more appeal. The latter landed a tougher hurdles race at Hereford earlier in the month having earlier beaten both Taras Day and Cheer's Delboy at Southwell and the hat-trick beckons raised only 3lb. Monty's Award ended a long losing run when scoring at Fontwell but Bomber's Moon is preferred having placed over track and trip last time.
