Verdict

SOULSAVER (NAP) returned a losing favourite in a tougher contest here last month but ran well enough in third and went close in this grade at Taunton before that. Anthony Honeyball’s charge should make another bold bid. Stablemate Double Accord floundered in a couple of starts over fences last year but has won over the smaller obstacles in the past while Mickieblueeyes acquitted himself well in his handicap debut at Huntingdon last month and can race off the same mark. The remainder are harder to fancy with Stonebrigg Legend perhaps proving best of them.
