Verdict

ELUSIVE BELLE made a big impression at Wincanton winning by 19L and surely could have won by a lot more. She looks likely to follow up in similar style here if the soft ground causes no inconvenience. Sevarano was disappointing last time out but is considered best of the rest after three seconds. Reserve Tank is the preferred of three Colin Tizzard trained runners although there is little between them.
  1. Elusive Belle
  2. Sevarano
  3. Reserve Tank
