In depth

Verdict

Cassia Heights, Caught At Dawn and Glen Warrior are the three to consider here, and Cassia Heights is taken to come out on top. Glen warrior should not be overlooked here, despite shouldering top weight. He won on his last outing here two years ago, and won at Uttoxeter in March. He finished runner-up on a return visit to the track last time and appears well handicapped. he looks sure to go well. Twelve year old Caught At Dawn has been running in Hunter Chases and despite being outclassed at the Cheltenham Festival and Aintree, he has run well in other less competitive affairs and can give a good account here. Cassia Heights won at Ludlow in December and ran his best race since when chasing home the useful Darina's Boy at Aintree last week. He remains well treated on a three pound higher mark and Cassia Heights can conquer his rivals here.
