    Verdict

    ALCALA should be winning this with a repeat of his recent third at Sandown. The runner has subsequently boosted the form by winning and Paul Nicholls’ grey can do the same here. Go West Young Man has just the one win over hurdles in 17 attempts and reverts to the larger obstacles today while My Wigwam Or Yours has been placed once in five previous starts over fences. Crowd Control hasn’t won anywhere yet and is hard to fancy.
