Verdict
Bold Plan has been lightly campaigned this term and would have a chance on last season’s form. Fine Casting got his act together at Haydock last time while a step back up in trip might suit Doctor Parnassus. SAYADAM failed to follow up a Fontwell victory at Taunton and is a pound higher here but Kai Lenihan claims back 7lb and Kim Bailey’s charge might be worth another chance. Peejaybee is worth a market check back over hurdles with Ilanz and course and distance winner Ballybegg others who catch the eye.
