Verdict

Ben Pauling's low-mileage BANGERS AND CASH made a promising return over hurdles when runner-up at Exeter and is fancied to go in at the first time of asking over the larger obstacles with this longer trip a big plus. Mille Sussurri rates a big threat on the back of his Uttoxeter second, and Velasco is weighted to have a say too if shrugging off a lesser effort at Hereford in refitted headgear.
