Verdict
SAN FERMIN won his bumper here in 2021 and is having his sights lowered a little over hurdles so may be able to take advantage of the 7lb, less Lewis Stones’ allowance, that he receives from Scudamore, who has been contesting handicaps at Stratford and Fakenham. Man Of Riddles stays well but has only won on artificial surfaces while winning pointer Ballylinch makes his debut under Rules.
