      Verdict

      Holdbacktheriver gave the impression a step up in trip would suit when third at Chepstow. Ilovemints was last of three and beaten when falling at Uttoxeter and Tom Scudamore prefers the once-raced I’M ALWAYS TRYING, who has an excellent pedigree for jumping and will have learned plenty from his run in a bumper here last month. Fairmount showed promise in bumpers but weakened quickly on his hurdles debut at Lingfield.
