Verdict
Unexposed over fences, it might be worth taking a chance on SOMEWHERE TO BE on his return to action. He won at Lingfield and Catterick over the winter, though will probably do better when the ground turns. On Demand was second to a subsequent winner at Newton Abbot at the start of the month but she’s not really built to jump fences. Border Breaker turned in a shocker at Cartmel last month but Capard King was knocking on the door off similar marks last season so is preferred to veteran Strumble Head and Middlebrow.
