Verdict
COOLNACRITTA (NAP) landed a Hexham handicap over this trip before finding a 7lb rise and 2m4f beyond him at Uttoxeter in a race that has worked out well He's 4lb better in than for future handicaps so looks the one to beat. Miss Arccol has yet to win but looked like doing so at Sligo only to be run out of it from the last. She's on the same mark and looks certain to get involved while the lightly-raced Good Reception has shown enough to suggest a big weight won't prevent a good run. Stilyker ran well for a long way over this trip at Navan but Blackyellowred is now 0-13 over timber.
