Verdict

This represents a much tougher task than that which LIVERPOOL KNIGHT has faced in winning novice events at Uttoxeter the last twice, but he's unexposed in this sphere and may well have more to offer now pitched into a handicap off a reasonable mark. Too Friendly outpointed Castle Gandolfo at Market Rasen last month and is taken to again get the better of that rival and emerge as the main danger.

  1. LIVERPOOL KNIGHT
  2. TOO FRIENDLY
  3. CASTEL GANDOLFO (IRE)
