Verdict
Court King has been in good form over fences lately but is 19lb higher than his last winning mark over hurdles. A Boy Named Suzi has been raised 5lb since his latest close-up fourth over track and trip but still warrants a mention. OVER THE AIR likes it here and is back over a more suitable distance after racing over 2m last time. John Spearing’s mare gets a tentative vote to come good again as she’s getting weight from Market Rasen runner-up Kalifourchon and Uttoxeter scorer Supreme Steel. Altesse De Guye may need his first run since December.
