Verdict

The Paul Nicholls-trained DON ALVARO bumped into a progressive sort when second on his Wincanton handicap debut in December and could have more to offer himself so he's the suggestion in a competitive finale. A sound case can also be made for Cooldine Bog, Bean In Trouble and last-time-out course scorer Raddon Top.

  1. DON ALVARO
  2. COOLDINE BOG (IRE)
  3. BEAN IN TROUBLE
