Verdict

Lots of runners and that means plenty of guesswork involved. The champion trainer saddles two likely sorts in Pistol Whipped and Rathhill and the betting is likely to be the best guide to their respective chances. Either could be good enough, but they have to concede racecourse experience to a couple of promising sorts in Nordic Combined and UMNDENI, with the latter given a narrow vote in the expectation of improvement in the jumping department after a fair debut at Chepstow. Dashel Drasher and Beaufort West are closely matched on recent course form and can also make their presence felt, along with Irish imports So Lonely and Gameface.
