      Verdict

      Several have recent form over these fences including Tide Times, who scored over track and trip last week and is penalised. But BOBHOPEORNOHOPE looks to have the stronger form on the evidence of last month’s six-length course and distance success and Kim Bailey’s charge has scored on good ground in the past. Head To The Stars saves his best for this track and finished runner-up here last time but both Rocco and Real Steel arrive out of sorts.
