Verdict

Grumpy Charley has finished close up in both starts over hurdles so far and has solid place claims in a race like this. Conceal led for a long way over a longer trip at Warwick and dropping back in distance may aid his cause but Aintree winner REAL STONE is fancied to get back on track having found Bravemansgame and company too hot handle at Newbury. Bumpy Johnson was rather let down by his jumping at Hereford but that was still a decent first run over timber and he also enters calculations.
