Verdict
Recent course and distance winner ANTEROS might still be improving and is marginally preferred to last month's Taunton scorer Liberty Court, who failed to defy a penalty here last time when his jumping left a bit to be desired. Abbeygrey won an Irish point-to-point in November and was then fifth in a bumper here on his debut under Rules. He has scope and could give the others something to think about.
