Verdict
Cracking Find has placed here and at Catterick since returning from a break and is only a pound higher than his last winning mark. Drumconnor Lad was just beaten over hurdles on this track on his return to action but is 12lb higher over fences. Game Of War wasn’t far behind a subsequent winner here last month but may have not beaten SCHIEHALLION MUNRO had that one not come down two out and compensation could await the top weight today with a clear round. The Ferry Master probably needs further nowadays.
