Verdict
Karakoram has been getting closer to a first victory of the campaign but is edging up the weights again, though Joe Anderson takes off 7lb. Colony Queen was only caught at the last at Huntingdon and the eight-times Flat winner should be breaking her duck over timber sooner rather than later. No No Tonic made all at Wincanton last week but was behind Karakoram at Chepstow earlier. Cobbs Corner has gone up 4lb for winning at Fakenham and Fontwell second Mickyh has changed stables so we’ll take a chance on the fitness of MOVEIT LIKE MINNIE, who has had a break but has found only one too good in three of his five hurdles starts including a maiden here in January behind a horse now rated 128.
