Verdict
Spread Boy ran poorly back here last time having beaten Pamak D'airy and Downtown Boy over these fences before that when Duhallowcountry was pulled up. Hi Bob and Captain Sharpe were both placed over hurdles last time with the latter preferred having won off today’s mark over track and trip earlier this year. But MONEY FOR NOTHING makes most appeal as he returned to action with a second at Catterick and may finally be ready to open his account over fences off his current mark.
