In depth

Verdict

Air De Rock has yet to win a race of any description but was clear when falling two out on his chasing bow and reappearance at Ffos Las. He’s been raised 6lb but should go close with a clear round. Rainy Day Dylan has not taken to fences but Lickpenny Larry has already won twice over the larger obstacles and found only one too good on his return to action at Bangor. DARK INVADER wouldn’t want any rain but is due a good run and reunited with Adam Wedge, who has ridden him in all victories to date. He gets the nod in an open-looking affair, though Paddy's Poem and Doc Carver can’t be ignored.
