Verdict
ROMANOR is in the form of his life having won his last two at Newton Abbot in a hack canter. He has won around here over hurdles so a change of venue shouldn’t be off-putting. Shut The Box, a winner here last November, goes well fresh so looks a danger while Sainte Doctor and Zacony Rebel have the scope to succeed over fences but Fanzio seems to be going backwards.
