Verdict
Imperial Knight has won over hurdles but his latest victory came in a match here over fences. Moon King was beaten a long way in a couple of runs on the Flat earlier in the summer so is best watched while the handicapper may have Jersey Wonder in his grip. Red Happy won off a 2lb higher mark over fences eight days ago but hasn’t run over timber in almost two years. Landen Calling bolted up at Market Rasen a month ago but went up 11lb for that and THE TURTLE SAID (NAP) has more scope stepping out of novice company for the first time and unpenalised for a wide-margin win here last week.
