Verdict
Kiruna Peak makes a quick reappearance under a penalty at the opposite end of the country after winning at Kelso on Wednesday. She’ll be fancied to complete the hat-trick but Jaytrack Parkhomes could figure if jumping better than he did at Newton Abbot back over fences. Darebin usually pops up when least expected and the fast going will suit Carolines Charm but I’DLIKETHEOPTION has slipped to a fair mark and wasn’t given a hard time when returning from a break against race-fit rivals at Fontwell.
