Verdict
Goodthyneaway has taken well to fences but Farm The Rock is now 0-8 over the larger obstacles. Volt Face has failed to win in 13 attempts but has been placed seven times. Sackett is also still seeking a first victory over fences but was improving when last seen. Ian Williams’ stable is enduring a quiet spell but ALMOST GOLD is allowed to make his chasing bow off his hurdles mark and that has taken no account of his potential as his dam won a chase and so did his half-brother. The Manuscript is another who could make a mockery of his current mark.
