Verdict
Mini Yeats makes his handicap debut after a close third at Wincanton where he lost a shoe. One Last Glance didn't do much wrong in a course and distance handicap last time while Catch Me Not did well to finish fourth at Plumpton after a moderate round of jumping. Gary Moore acquired AGGAGIO after he beat two rivals in a Goodwood seller last summer. His three runs over timber in the autumn showed progressive form and he would be difficult to beat if ready after a break. The Height Of Fame was beaten a long way when runner-up at Exeter while Warwick handicap winner Shutthegate was never travelling at Wetherby.
