Verdict
This won't take much winning and Lord Navits comes out best at the weights. He won a claimer at Leicester on his last start over hurdles, though has never won over a trip this far under Rules. There are also stamina concerns surrounding Swampfire while Walkabout Creek appears to have lost the plot. FLANAGANS FIELD hasn't shown a great deal lately either but drops into a seller for the first time since running Hawdyerwheesht to a short-head over 2m4f at Chepstow in September and is preferred to stablemates Just Sixty and Tijori on that basis.
