Verdict

Ian Williams runs a couple of potentially-useful newcomers in this and Monjeni beat Paddy A over 2m on Polytrack late last month, though is now slightly worse off at the weights. However, BRECON HILL (NAP) sets a decent standard on a couple of runs at Huntingdon. Sarah Humphrey’s charge won the first of those and was second to Challow Hurdle fourth Brewin’Upastorm in the other when a subsequent winner was third. What's Occurring ran in a Listed race at Newbury after back-to-back wins at Hereford. A return to quicker going will suit but he has to give 6lb to the selection. Cardigan Bay was third in a maiden here last month and holds Go As You Please and French Piece on that run.
