Some good local point-to-pointers are put to the test here. Fly West catches the eye with Josh Newman booked to ride. The lightly raced ten-year-old split a useful pair of horses last time, but form lines via that contest suggest he has work to do with MASTER BAKER who recorded an eight seconds faster time when beating the useful Alternatif on the same card. Moral Hazard has been in good form this winter and has coped with heavy ground to land back-to-back successes. The one concern is his jumping of regulation fences in the past, but if ironing out those deficiencies he will be dangerous.
