Verdict
Mystifiable is lightly raced and Tiquer has won two of his three starts this season but has shot up the weights as a consequence and others look better treated now. Full Shift is one and he only found one too good at Kempton last time, though has disappointed on the whole. VALUE AT RISK was a classy hurdler and has only run five times over fences. He ran very well at Aintree earlier this month until a lack of condition told and dropping back in distance here is probably in his favour. Baileys Concerto did a lot better last time at Carlisle and is another who is well treated on past form so he’s preferred to Special Catch.
