Verdict
Taming had looked very good in winning three minor events earlier in the summer, before running no sort of race in a valuable handicap at Market Rasen. He has had a couple of pipe openers recently on the flat and now back in novice company he must take all the beating, despite having to give lumps of weight away all round. Threezedzz shaped well enough on his hurdling debut, but he was a sprinter on the flat and he isn't guarenteed to get the trip over hurdles, while Marzelle, a maiden on the flat, turned in several decent efforts and could make the grade at this game.
