Verdict

Another tricky puzzle to solve. Hunters Call is 3lb lower than his last winning mark but the longer trip would be a worry and he’s not getting any younger. Sirobbie is hard to catch right and Chepstow runner-up The Newest One is still a maiden over timber. Bumpy Johnson should progress again now he’s got his head in front and Sweet Will won at Cheltenham when last over the smaller obstacles. SNIPE has only won a maiden at Ffos Las so far but is the least exposed of these and this longer trip will suit Dan Skelton's charge back in a handicap today.
