Verdict
Lord Napier was well beaten on his handicap debut so has a bit to prove now but Loud And Clear remains unexposed over hurdles, though hasn’t raced since October. HENRY’S JOY’s Sedgefield victory is not working out and he’s 7lb higher but he might be able to grab another victory over the smaller obstacles before going chasing next season. Reivers Lodge looks the pick of the remainder ahead of Mighty Thunder.
