In depth

Verdict

Sherwood Rose, Kyalami, Bankit and Caught At Dawn will be the main contenders here with a strong vote going towards the last named. Caught At Dawn won this corresponding race last year and although he is not enjoying the same success this time around his second in this years Aintree Fox Hunters was a near personal best. The only worry is that he was pulled up with something amiss between the flags last week but if you can forgive him that blip he has to go close. Kylami looked a little one paced when finishing fifth at Newbury last time out and has had jumping difficulties but this step up in trip will help and he is a point winner this year. Sherwood Rose has been making hay recently winning multiple point to points. He will have to raise his game again here but is worth noting in the market. But for the winner we return to Caught At Dawn.
