Verdict

Jepeck was backed from 4/1 to 6/4 when overcoming mistakes to score on stable debut and we have seen the yard do well withthis type before. However a 17lb rise for that victory looks harsh given the attritional conditions that day and a late mistake by the runner-up. Cobolobo can be considered well-handicapped if taking his second to Kilbricken Storm literally, however his next run probably proved he was flattered. Chic Name will relish the test and is well-handicapped, but it is hard to oppose ZERACHIEL who made a bold bid to land the Lincolnshire National only to be caught on the run-in by a fitter well-handicapped rival.
