Verdict

Sam Cavallaro beat Delta Borget and Swallows Delight in this last year but recent efforts have left much to be desired. Bound For Glory unseated his rider in the Fox Hunters' Chase at Aintree but should be thereabouts with a clear round. Cold Knight made all at Brampton Bryan earlier this month but hasn't shown much previously under Rules and just as interesting is Barbury second Carrigkerry. Alan Hill targets this meeting and BROKEN EAGLE can give him another winner as he's been carrying all before him in point-to-points this year.
