Verdict
A winner at Warwick last month, General Custard ran well again at Fakenham despite a penalty. But SUPREMELY LUCKY is taken to make the most of the weight concession having finished only fourth at Chepstow on his comeback. Dan Skelton’s charge should be sharper for this and is fancied to add to his earlier win in a bumper. Net De Treve is another penalised for an earlier success at Uttoxeter where Reve was well beaten while point-to-point winner Johnny Ocean can only improve on previous attempts over hurdles.
