Verdict
The top pair have penalties to carry for recent victories but Paul Nicholls has booked 5lb claimer Angus Cheleda for ISAAC DES OBEAUX, which could make the difference. A bumper winner on this track, he made most for an easy victory over the course and distance last month and a double looks on the cards. The Jukebox Man, a winning point-to-pointer and bumper, made an impressive debut over timber at Ffos Las and is entitled to the greatest respect. Katate Dori won a Market Rasen bumper and was thrown in at the deep end on his hurdling bow at Cheltenham while this is a tough ask for a four-year-old and Village Master may lack the experience needed though he was placed twice between the flags in Ireland.
