In depth

Verdict

Plenty look to have decent claims in this. Limpopo Tom makes a quick reappearance after winning easily off this mark over fences at Ludlow on Tuesday. Knight In Purple is in the veteran stage now but still capable of decent form while Jolly Roger is slowly working his way back to full fitness. Mr Burbidge opened his account over hurdles at Wetherby four weeks ago but is 9lb higher here and KAYF BLANCO is preferred. Graeme McPherson's charge has yet to run a bad race over timber and can go one better than over course and distance earlier this month, despite a 4lb higher mark. Camachoice is preferred to Sweet World and novice Pied Du Roi of the remainder.
