In depth

Verdict

Bob's Buster and Cherry tart have been mixing their races over both hurdles and fences of late and both have been rewarded with a touch of success. The former however, on this occasion looks to have the scope to be able to carry his 7lb penalty for winning here last week and can continue to strike whilst the iron is hot. Damien's Choice can also be relied upon to run a sound race and these three appear to have the spoils in the bag between them. With Bob's Buster marginally favoured.
