Verdict

Pobbles Bay finished ahead of Don Poli, Ballydine and last year’s winner PERFECT CANDIDATE in a veterans’ chase at Aintree last month but the latter will have needed the run that day and he is still capable in races like this, despite his advancing years. Midnight Tune could figure if on a going day but Ffos Las scorer Kings Monarch was only third in this last year and is only a pound better off with the winner. Sheneededtherun won four times last season and was racing from out of the handicap when fourth in the Midlands Grand National on her final start so can’t be ignored.
