In depth
Verdict
WILLIAM MONEY (NAP) landed a double over fences in February and took advantage of a lower mark over hurdles to win at Fontwell last month. Upped only 3lb for that, he can go in again. Shotofwine looked beaten when falling off today’s mark at Musselburgh having won at Market Rasen earlier but Court Baloo is not badly treated on last year’s win at Bangor and should have come on for a recent reappearance at Kelso. Park House had been threatening before failing to figure over these hurdles but the remainder are harder to fancy.
