Verdict
Show's Over beat Harbour Force in a Newton Abbot seller last month and is only 2lb higher. It will be interesting to see if there is any money for Ulysses following wind surgery. he’s joined Dan Skelton and is a potential blot on the handicap but we’re loathe to desert NORTH STAR OSCAR (NAP). Richard Johnson’s mount pulled hard at Ffos Las but still showed a willing attitude to mug Champagne Chaser with the second franking the form at Cartmel. Pottlereaghexpress has become disappointing but can’t get much lower in the weights.
