Verdict
Marquis Of Carabas is progressive but his error-strewn performance at Worcester last month makes him a risky proposition here, so LOVELY JOB looks the one to be on. He has been reasonably consistent over fences so far and pulled a long way clear of the field when winning a handicap at Uttoxeter last month. Brian Boranha was a reliable hurdler but is best watched after a moderate debut performance over fences, while Rouge Devils has looked less than impressive in two chase outings. River Of Intrigue wasn’t beaten far in a similar race last time and has place claims.
