Verdict
The progressive THIRTYFOURSTITCHES has won three of his last four outings, including over these hurdles last time. He’s taken to defy a further 5lb rise in this company. Enfin Phil won in soft ground at Sedgefield before struggling in a higher grade at Catterick but maiden winner Gloire D'athon posted a better effort at Fontwell on his second start for a new yard. Mega Yeats looks no nearer taking advantage of a slide down the weights though is still preferred to Simply Loveleh
