    Verdict

    Jepeck has been in good form since the turn of the year while Prime Venture won a valuable veterans’ chase at Sandown last month and is only 2lb higher back over hurdles. Fellow veteran BALLYANDY responded to Finn Lambert’s urging to go clear at Fakenham earlier this month. That was his first victory in more than two years and he has gone up 8lb but he clearly retains plenty of ability. Ask For Glory has a very long absence to overcome but Bells Of Peterboro has won his last two starts here and should be thereabouts again with Brinkley also interesting reverting to the smaller obstacles.
