Verdict

Thirtytwo Red has a long absence to overcome but Drom seems to have improved in the point-to-point field lately and was second at Black Forest Lodge last month. Cash In Hand was pulled up when Cluthe Boy finished a distant fourth over a shorter distance here last time, however, and Coppingers Court was tailed off at Market Rasen three weeks ago. OVER THE PHONE seems the logical selection, therefore, having run up a hat-trick between the flags this season. Trainer Andy Hobbs already has a valuable hunter chase at Cheltenham in May in mind for his improving six-year-old, who should be too good for these.
