Verdict
Tetlami will have to jump a lot better here than when making a winning debut over fences at Kempton if he is to get OVERTURN off the bridle. Donald McCain's stable star beat a decent field at Doncaster last time without being asked a serious question and should extend his unbeaten record over the larger obstacles here. Huntingdon second Asaid could improve for the drop in distance and should be winning soon but this is a tough introduction over fences under Rules for ex-pointer Next Sensation.
