Race Summary:

CRAMBO proved a bit of a disappointment hiked in grade when pulled up in the Challow at Newbury on New Year’s Eve, but he’s fancied to get back on track now returned to calmer waters following a breathing operation (also tongue tied). Waspy is bred for longer trips but still warrants plenty of respect on his hurdle debut having shaped well in a Wetherby bumper, while Donnacha is an athletic sort who can improve on his opening effort in this sphere at Chepstow
