Verdict
Gang Warfare has been competing on the Flat without success but wasn’t beaten far at Catterick when last over timber. Boychick made a promising start over hurdles when fourth at Stratford and has a shout with normal progress but WEIGHTFORDAVE is preferred. The latter got no further than the first when odds-on at Southwell recently but was runner-up at Kempton before that with the first three clear of the rest. A decent handicapper on the Flat, Snap Shots has refused to start on the last three occasions which doesn’t bode well for his hurdling debut.
