        Verdict

        Most of these can be given a chance if at their best but Relentless Dreamer returns from an absence 11lb higher than his latest success. Moss On The Mill scored at Ludlow a fortnight ago and should go well again while Cottersrock and Minellacelebration have won a beginners’ chase at Uttoxeter and a novices handicap at Aintree respectively. Fort Worth is still looking for his first win over fences but is preferred to Impulsive American while Luccombe Down and dual hurdles winner EARTHMOVES make their chasing debuts. The latter will be sharper for a recent pipe-opener over timber and may well be capable of much better over fences given he’s a half-brother to high-class chaser and stablemate Pitt Zig.
