In depth

Verdict

Tom's Toybox may be able to get the better of Eborarry and Miss Pross. The selection has risen a stone for winning a race in which only three runners finished. On the face of it that seems a little harsh but he appeared to be transformed by the application of blinkers and, as it was just his second start over fences, he may well be able to overcome it. Eborarry is undoubtedly well handicapped and comes here on the back of a decent effort at Market Rasen where he was outstayed by Nirvana Swing. He's not the easiest to win with though and Miss Pross may be able to ask more questions of the selection. She's only twice finished out of the frame in eight starts over fences and may be able to continue to defy the handicapper whilst conditions are in her favour but we marginally prefer the claims of Tom's Toybox.
