In depth
Verdict
A low-grade event featuring mainly moderate and out of form individuals but Twice As Good has tumbled down the weights and may be able to take advantage of a very lenient mark. Kim Bailey's gelding has not been seen out since early January when running as though something was amiss at Ludlow. But the son of Good Thyne had previously shown respectable form when fourth in a similar contest on good ground at Leicester and is now 9lb lower in the handicap. Hi Lily is well treated on the pick of her hurdling form but has not progressed over the larger obstacles and doesn't look the safest of conveyances while Lord Fleet has become most disappointing. Lord Pat lifted a weak selling hurdle in December but had his limitations exposed next time and has plenty to prove on this return to chasing following a gap of five years.
