Verdict
Another For Joe went close over a mile on the Flat recently but failed to last home when tried over hurdles previously. Muwalla is best over fences nowadays and was behind Sedgefield winner Mighty Whitey here at the start of the month. Baraboy has struggled off this sort of mark lately but maiden Beechroad Ally could be interesting as Sandy Thomson's mare ran her best race so far under Rules here last time. PARC DES PRINCES only won a seller at Huntingdon in August but bettered that effort when third at the same track a week later and, as long as the going doesn't deteriorate, Nicky Richards' charge has every chance in this.
