Verdict

Several should appreciate this return to faster going including Hamilton Dici, a beaten favourite at Warwick last time having won at the same track earlier. Cilluirid remains 9lb higher than when scoring at Sedgefield in November while ANOTHER BROWN BEAR makes his debut over fences. The latter posted his best effort over hurdles on good ground at this venue and Nicky Henderson’s winning pointer is expected to improve now chasing. Marettimo is upped in class while Landsman is struggling for form.
