      Verdict

      Welsh Bard won easily on his last visit to the racecourse but that was back in the summer of 2015 and he might need this. It took Charlie Mon 18 attempts to get off the mark under Rules and he has a penalty for his Huntingdon victory. IORA GLASS is 0-7 over fences but won over hurdles as recently as April and in much better company than this. He must be the one to beat if taking to the larger obstacles second time around as What A Laugh and Paddy The Oscar are now in the veteran stage. Oscar O'scar won off a higher mark at Kelso last year but is hard to catch right.
