LONGEST TRAVELLER: CREDO trained by A Honeyball, Beaminster, 109 miles.

MARTHA BRAE has been knocking on the door lately and can deservedly get her head back in front. Credo will be a major threat if she can translate this sesaon’s good chase form back to the smaller obstacles

RACE STATS RACE SUMMARY

FAMILY POT arrives in the form of his life having won his last 2 starts here so is taken to complete the hat-trick. On The Platform was just under 2 lengths behind the selection over C&D on his penultimate start and is 3lb better off here, so is the obvious threat, while Arcade Attraction also needs considering after his good win at Fontwell

If able to build on his latest effort at Wincanton, SIXTY DOLLARS MORE could be the answer to a race in which many of his rivals have a point to prove for one reason or another. Both this drop back in trip and a subsequent 4lb drop in the weights add to his appeal Bertie B needs considering on the back of a decent handicap debut third at Huntingdon and he is next on the list ahead of Sinister Minister
