Verdict

This looks a decent contest for the prize money as Cloud Creeper probably came up against a useful novice at Southwell on his reappearance and should be winning soon. Exeter third Junction Fourteen has plenty of scope while Unowhatimeanharry wasn't beaten far when third at Plumpton on his hurdles bow. GATE PLEASE was just touched off over this trip at Ffos Las. The winner doubled up at the same track next time while the third has also won since. AP McCoy should steer Rebecca Curtis' charge to a first success here, though an extra half-mile might be needed eventually. Curtain Razer and Horace look best of the rest.
