Verdict
WEE FAT MAC popped-up at 40/1 in an apprentices’ race over track and trip last week. He escapes a penalty and can confirm latest running with third-placed Hurt You Never in the process of going in again. Burtonwood has posted a couple of better efforts lately including when second here last time but Bomb Squad has just the one win on the all-weather in 27 attempts and the returning Atrafan is preferred.
