Verdict

Jimbo Sport has made a bright start over hurdles but may struggle to give weight away to consistent 4-y-o SCARLET MOON. Dual course winner Snatch A Glance also needs considering.

7	Fairly useful Flat performer has proved consistent since switched to hurdles, looking likely to land a second success in this sphere before an aggressive ride told late on at Stratford last time, and he's fancied to make another bold bid back down in trip. 1st Pick 7 Scarlet Moon Jockey: Ben Poste Trainer: Archie Watson J: Ben Poste T: Archie Watson	100	-	-	-	34%

1	Debut bumper winner got off the mark with sights lowered in 2m Newcastle maiden last time, and this lightly raced, straightforward sort should go well again under a penalty. 2nd Pick 1 Jimbo Sport (Fr) Jockey: Callum Pritchard Trainer: Ben Pauling J: Callum Pritchard T: Ben Pauling	99	-	-	-	39%

2	Steadily progressive 6-y-o made it 2 wins from 3 starts at this track when narrowly seeing off an improver over C&D in November. Carries a penalty for that success but should be in the mix if resuming progress (has won fresh) following 5 months off. 3rd Pick 2 Snatch A Glance Jockey: Fern O'brien Trainer: Fergal O'brien J: Fern O'brien T: Fergal O'brien	98	-	-	-	29%
