      Verdict

      Bags Groove was just beaten on his chasing bow at Uttoxeter in May and went one better at Ffos Las last month when relatively easy to back. But there are high hopes over fences for SECRET INVESTOR (NAP), who has won his last three over hurdles including a Grade 2 on his reappearance at Chepstow – he’s also won a point-to-point. Majestic Moll beat a decent field at Worcester in making a winning start over fences and she’ll have her mares’ allowance again. Theligny has won four times over hurdles but usually needs a run. Full has won twice over hurdles here recently but is 0-6 over fences and may find himself outclassed in this.
