      In depth

      Verdict

      Lord Ben is without a win since 2014 but went close at Worcester before being outclassed at Cheltenham. SALTO CHISCO is only a pound higher than when winning at Fakenham just over a year ago. He has won twice over hurdles since so looks the one to be on ahead of Bangor third Its A Sting. Britanio Bello will do better when he learns to settle and has more scope than Jackthejourneyman and Helium.
