Verdict

Pin D'Estruval had the run of the race when beating Dean's Grange at Newton Abbot and has more on his plate here off a 6lb higher mark. JIM TANGO is interesting as he doesn't look badly handicapped back over fences after a couple of confidence-boosting wins over hurdles. Donald McCain's seven-year-old gets the nod as Tilly Ann, second on her reappearance at Market Rasen, may need softer ground to show her best. Restezen D'Armor and Mccauley both return from a break but could figure if fully wound-up, along with Up To The Mark, but it's hard to make a case for Adajal judged on recent efforts.
