Verdict
Yes I Did has been well beaten either side of winning a beginners’ chase at Fontwell. TWO SMOKIN BARRELS makes more appeal having scored over course and distance last month on his chasing bow. There should be more to come from Michael Scudamore’s charge here and he’s also preferred to Upbeat Cobbler. The latter’s winning run came to an end at Ludlow recently but Hurricane's Girl made a promising start over fences when placed at Ffos Las and could get involved. Money Maid was a well-beaten second at Newcastle last time but the inconsistent Suzy's Music won off a 6lb lower mark here in February.
