Verdict

Blueberry Wine won twice over fences last season and has placed over hurdles but he lacks a recent run. Mamoon Star may have been a bit out of his depth in a Class 2 at Kempton last time but carries a penalty for an earlier victory at Taunton. PASSIONATE PURSUIT (NAP) was travelling better than the eventual winner when unseating her rider two out last time at Wincanton and compensation awaits here with a clear round with Invictus Allen having a first run under Rules.
