Verdict
Miss Amelia is a past course and distance winner and arrives off the back of an easy victory at Bangor, but has been raised 8lb. She looks too high in the weights now but Cesar Collonges showed he was well treated nowadays when runner-up at Ffos Las. These fences can be tricky for a novice but OUTCROP (NAP) jumped well enough making his chasing bow at Sedgefield and he’s fairly handicapped on his hurdles form. Ludlow second Fort De L'ocean is still 5lb higher than when successful at Cartmel in July and I'dliketheoption remains out of sorts, though slips further down the ratings.
