Verdict
This looks wide-open with Bobo Mac raised 10lb for a recent victory here over a shorter trip. Sumkindofking is slowly slipping down the handicap and finished well ahead of Wicked Willy in the Badger Beers at Wincanton. The Welsh Paddies was an unlucky loser at Hereford as he was carried across the track in the closing stages and only beaten a short-head, though has been hit with a 5lb rise. Former Willie Mullins’ inmate Roll Again was making his fencing bow when fourth at Market Rasen and is a likely improver but we’ll give another chance to CRESSWELL LEGEND as a sharp track suits this game front-runner, who was successful in a three-runner race here in April.
