Verdict

Qrackers won a point-to-point in December but Lorikarad has been struggling to recapture his best form and Chief Heckler pulled too hard when only fifth at Leicester two weeks ago. THE GENERAL LEE arrived with similar credential in last year's race but ended up an easy winner and finished a long way clear of Island Life. A repeat could be on the cards for Susan Brooke's enigmatic hunter chaser with Bay To Go probably the pick of the remainder.
