In depth

Verdict

These look a very mixed bunch and winning chaser All Together will probably be fancied to get off the mark over timber, though he's unlikely to be much of a price. Walt could be a threat but his form in bumpers deteriorated. Cocker was a much-improved third at Fontwell a month ago but we might take a chance on HAPPY JACK, who has won over 1m4f on the all-weather this year and should have no problem lasting home around here.
