      Verdict

      KAVANAGHS CROSS’ third in a Cheltenham handicap is easily the best form on offer and, though a little exposed, he looks the one to beat. Rowdy Rustler ran well for as long way at Ayr and the point-to-point winner will strip fitter here. Snowy Clouds has also won between the flags but Conceroe looks a bigger danger on this occasion as he had some decent form in bumpers last season.
