Verdict
Kovera won easily off this mark over fences at Sedgefield last week but the switch back to hurdles is a worry. BERTIE BLAKE (NAP) is likely to offer more value as he’s been getting his act together lately and there’s a good chance a step up in trip will suit. Court Baloo was second off this mark at Cartmel in July but he’s disappointed since. Permission Granted is fairly consistent but now 0-10 under Rules, though must have place claims in a modest handicap.
