Verdict
Rightdownthemiddle has raced out of his depth since winning a seller for Gordon Elliott in December and has a better chance eased in grade. Reckless Behavior is potentially well treated but has been out of sorts for a while. Shaiyzar hasn’t won over hurdles since 2016 but did win a chase earlier this year. Next Lot has a very long absence to overcome, though this won’t take much winning. TARAS DAY only won a novices’ handicap here last week but was in no danger approaching the last so can defy a 7lb rise.
