Verdict

Jonjo O'Neill runs LESS TIME with a 7lb penalty which is hardly surprising after his demolition job at Market Rasen last weekend. He'll have been raised by much more than today's extra and is impossible to oppose, especially as that was only his third start over fences. Royal Macnab has won two of his last three with his defeat coming on very heavy ground at Ayr. He's progressing well and looks the one to take advantage if the selection doesn't come up to scratch. Ballybogey has yet to win over fences but Charlie Pogson will find a small race for him soon while Life And Soul's two runs over fences have been in better grade and he can get closer.
