Verdict

Roll Again’s jumping has let him down the last twice and BOBO MAC is 7lb better off for a three-length defeat over this track and trip in December. Tom Symonds’ charge has also won around here in the past and can come out on top today. Cap St Vincent looks a threat to all having got back to winning ways at Taunton at the start of the month while Another Venture is eased in grade after fair runs at Chepstow and Cheltenham. Head To The Stars isn’t badly treated but on a long losing run and Station Master remains out of sorts.
