Verdict

Many familiar staying handicap faces on show but GA LAW has made overcoming a 20-month lay-off seem routine on both starts back this season so provided he continues to take his racing well, Jamie Snowden's charge is strongly fancied to notch a fifth career success over the larger obstacles. Tea For Free is unbeaten in all 4 starts over fences so far but he may have to settle for silver on this occasion, with Cap Du Nord and Mister Coffey another pair who merit consideration.
