Verdict

Only A P McCoy has managed to galvanise Another Trump to victory previously and he's very hard to predict. Tarkari was beaten in a seller over hurdles last time and stable jockey Paul Moloney prefers Darceys Dancer, even though he hasn't won a race of any description since 2010. Last Shot seems to prefer an extra half-mile but does have placed form on the track while Bobby Dove got off the mark at Huntingdon last month and should make a bold bid to defy the extra 7lb. Oranger is 5lb out of the handicap but Ben Poste claims 7lb and he has place prospects again, though we prefer FULL OV BEANS. Ignore his latest run in a jumpers' bumper as he had Bobby Dove behind when second to Denali Highway at Leicester earlier and is 3lb better off now.
