Verdict
A few of these have probably seen better days, including the penalised Persian Snow. Salubrious has been off the track for two years but O Maonlai is interesting running in his first hunter chase, though has changed stables. TINKERS HILL TOMMY is the youngest in the line-up and has only found one too good in his three runs to date under Rules. He came up against a promising sort at Chepstow last month and can go one better today with the talented James King doing the steering.
