      Verdict

      William Of York, Joe Dadancer and Technology are all worth a market check having a first run over fences but the experience of School Days Over and GENERAL OFFICER will stand them in good stead. The former is trained by Fergal O’Brien, who saddled last year’s winner, and he came good at Hereford last month. However, a 5lb rise may have opened the door for Donald McCain’s top weight, who is likely to enjoy this step up in trip.
