Verdict
RECKLESS BEHAVIOR struggled over a longer trip at Huntingdon last time but was second over course and distance before that. He may prove good enough back over these hurdles. D'Arcy's Sound was a well beaten third over 2m at Bangor earlier and Supakalanistic may do better now handicapping. Banny's Lad won over fences last year but has failed to complete in both starts over timber so far this year while Lex Talionis won in Ireland back in October and has only his second start for new connections. Corlay has won in France but has shown little in either start for Jonjo O’Neill.
