Verdict
Kayf Blanco won a lower grade chase at Fakenham last month and was left clear when the favourite fell a couple of fences from home in a three-runner affair at Ludlow last time. Value At Risk and Vivas are looking to put poor efforts behind them having both won their penultimate starts with the former preferred dropping back down in class. Forth Bridge was placed yet again at Leicester last time while El Terremoto is back up in trip after going close at Kelso so BROTHER TEDD makes most appeal. Philip Hobbs’ grey was having his first outing since 2017 when runner-up at Kelso last month and should be sharper today now back on a winning mark.
