Verdict

KIPCHAK put an end to a dismal run of form when scoring over C&D last week and remains on a winning mark despite a 6lb penalty. He's fancied to follow-up as he's won with an apprentice on board on a couple of previous occasions. Jack Duern will have his work cut out on Penbryn, however, as the latter appeared to down to tools when chasing home the selection last time and Kucharova could prove a bigger threat. My Mate Les and Jackie Love have struggled to win in lower grade races so look up against it here.
