Verdict
Although Mermaids Cave has proved uncompetitive in handicaps since landing a claimer at Huntingdon in early November, she must enter calculations reverting to this company. The seven-year-old shouldn't be far away, but PIGEON HOUSE is slightly more compelling. Jennie Candlish's inmate arrives on the back of a decent second over an extended 2m3f here and he ticks plenty of the right boxes dropping back to 2m. Tara Iti may fare best of the remainder.
Expert View Verdict
Mermaids Cave comes out best at the weights but she's been let down by her jumping of late, falling at Fakenham two starts back and then making a bad blunder en route to finishing well held at Market Rasen last time. PIGEON HOUSE looks a more sensible play. He's run twice at this course before, finishing runner-up on each occasion, including in a handicap from a mark of 117 just over three weeks ago. That was over further and he should prove ideally suited by the drop in trip. Tara Iti is third choice but has a bit to find at the weights with the pair already mentioned.
