Verdict
At the 12th attempt, MAJOR SNUGFIT finally got his head in front over hurdles at Sedgefield 12 days ago. That should have done his confidence the world of good and he is getting 18lb, less Izzy Williams’ claim, from chaser Sabbathical, who won by 21 lengths off this mark over the larger obstacles at Fakenham last week. Gavin sprang a 33/1 surprise on his handicap debut at Uttoxeter but is 11lb higher now.
