Verdict
BEGGAR’S WISHES (NAP) has taken well to fences and will have the ground in his favour again. A winner at Sedgefield in November, he returned from a short break to finish second at Leicester and looks the pick of the weights in this. Remind Me Later is more exposed over the larger obstacles and is having a first run since November but Monbeg Charmer could be interesting if forgiven his run in a Grade 3 at Kempton. Marquis Of Carabas will do better when the ground dries out but Minella Scamp will handle conditions and may not have stayed 3m last time, though steps up a grade.
