Sigurd was staying on over 2m4f at Wetherby. Schap could be interesting off bottom weight while Acertain Circus made mistakes in the closing stages when fourth over course and distance a couple of weeks ago. Very Extravagant won over an extra half-mile at Sedgefield having placed here the time before but has gone up a further 4lb. QUERRY HORSE (NAP) had a troubled passage last month at Huntingdon but kept on for second and his last win over hurdles came around here. He’s dropped to a very lenient mark and can get his head back in front today as Nemean Lion is hard to predict and headgear would need to bring about plenty of improvement in Family Man.
