Verdict

MOROMAN has won six times between the flags and landed a novices' hunter chase at Huntingdon in May last year on only his second start under Rules. He can take this ahead of last year's runner-up Benheir, who possibly isn't the force of old. Jack Bene has disappointed this term while this looks a big ask for Carlanstown and Macklin is possibly out of his depth.
