      Verdict

      Not the strongest of events with only a couple of the runners having a serious chance. Harik is one of the rare horses to have won on the flat, over hurdles and over fences. He has gone well fresh in the past, so his absence should not be a concern. However, the TEAMtalk vote goes to Richard Burton's mount Owen Roe, who showed his well being over hurdles recently, when runner-up to the useful Free Return. He has nothing of that calibre to beat in this and should make the long haul from his Shropshire yard worthwhile.
