    In depth

    Verdict

    Pontresina looked like placing in a tougher contest at Cheltenham in November but unseated at the last and finished lame. GUY has the more recent form when just missing out at Leicester and today’s ground over this longer trip will suit Nigel Twiston-Davies’ charge. As You Like won at Worcester last summer and is 4lb higher on his reappearance while Tide Times faces a tougher task than when second at Wincanton last month though is still preferred to Havana Hermano.
