Verdict

Paddy Partridge won an even weaker contest at Uttoxeter last month and may struggle under a penalty. All About only managed one place in six runs between the flags but was third in a maiden hurdle at Hexham on his debut under Rules. He's upped in grade here, however, and the one to beat is surely PROUD TIMES who won on the Flat and has been holding his own in better company over timber. Indefinite Hope is probably best of the rest but that may not be saying much.
