Verdict
Little Windmill got off the mark at the sixth attempt over fences when scraping home at Plumpton last month. He has further to travel here, however, and also 7lb more which is off-putting at the likely odds. JACK SNIPE (NAP) ran a little better than the final results suggests on his chasing bow at Uttoxeter in the summer. He was noted making late headway back over hurdles at Newton Abbot and is worth an interest here off a 5lb lower mark. Daulys Anthem went close over track and trip in August but has reverted to type again since and Is Love Alive is hard to catch right.
