In depth

Verdict

The veteran Sambulando hasn't won since 2009 and was beaten a long way on his reappearance over fences here three weeks ago. The ex-Irish Catchin Time has run 15 times over hurdles without winning but ran a bit better for new connections at Wincanton and wouldn't need to improve much to get into the action. Midnight Mustang has gone even longer without winning but can't go any lower in the weights and has a chance in a poor race but ONE COOL BOY can follow up his surprise victory at Ludlow. He'd never even been placed previously and the stewards asked a question but there didn't appear to be a fluke about his success and the runner-up ran well on the same track on Monday.
