In depth

Verdict

Snob Wells can take this opener at the expense of Kingscourt lad and Who Cares Wins. The John Harris trained nine-year-old showed the benefit of his seasonal return when finishing an excellent second behind Wages at Market Rasen recently. There could be plenty more to come and he looks the one to beat. Kingscourt Lad is turning into a very frustrating character, but does hold solid claims on the pick of his recent runs. Who Cares Wins didn't do too badly on his return and could be on a pretty decent mark at the moment. Trackattack is another to consider for the places in a trappy looking affair, but our idea of the winner is Snob Wells.
