Paul Kealy reckons handicapper is well treated back over fences

No. 3

4.33 Carlisle
2pts win at 7-2Brian Hughes may end up coming up short in his double title bid as Harry Skelton is going to be hard to contain, but Cooking Fat is well worth backing to put another one on the board for him.

The ten-year-old has not taking much racing in recent seasons, but he was in the process of running a really nice race under Hughes over hurdles at Catterick last month until making a mistake three out.

It was still a creditable effort, and Cooking Fat now returns to fences for the first time in two years off a 9lb lower mark than when last running over them.
