Verdict

DIVINE INTAVENTION recorded a hat-trick in these events before finding only My Flora too good at Ludlow last month. He could have the edge on Polyfast here as the latter has struggled since winning a handicap chase at Kempton early last year and he gets the nod. Master T was beaten out of sight despite finishing third in last year's renewal and Mount Sandel makes more appeal back under Rules as he's been in fine form between the flags of late.
