Verdict

Net Work Rouge can race off a lower mark back over fences and can figure. But BAKU BAY has been threatening to score over fences and ran well for fourth behind No Duffer at Haydock last time in a tougher race than this. He is just preferred to Get Involved, who has decent claims on his placed effort at Cheltenham last month. St Johns Point has been struggling of late but Mahler Lad is worth a second glance as he makes his debut over the larger obstacles.
