Verdict

Virak and SEEFOOD are two former top-class chasers who have taken well to their new careers in point-to-points. The former had won five in a row prior to a blip at Cheltenham. Although he met a very good rival it was still disappointing he did not finish closer than was the case. The selection was impressive when scoring over this specialist trip at Leicester and arrives in good shape having landed a point-to-point last time. Stable companion Meldrum Lad has staged a revival in his new career but has a bit to find on form.
