Verdict
Creadan Grae was pulled up on his last month’s chasing bow. He’s finished second here over hurdles since but is now 0-10 under Rules so may be worth opposing again. SOUPY SOUPS (NAP) took advantage of a lowly mark to get up close home at Uttoxeter last time. He may finally be ready to fulfill his potential over fences and is still well handicapped despite a 7lb rise. Return Flight disappointed here last month but Tangolan can’t get much lower in the weights and could bounce back at any time. Kerisper has been hard to train over the last two years but has shown promise over fences so is worth a market check.
