In depth

Verdict

Iskabeg Lane went close at Newcastle last week and looks sure to be in the mix once again. He’s preferred to the unpredictable Houndscourt, who won over these fences in January but was well beaten last time. COMPADRE missed out by only a neck over hurdles at Huntingdon on his latest start and James Evans’ charge had won over course and distance earlier. He gets another chance back over the larger obstacles today given Fight Commander and stablemate Wood Pigeon are regularly placed over fences though rarely win.
