Verdict

Eastview Boy won over course and distance in between his more usual modest efforts and it’s anybody’s guess what mood he’ll be in today. Casual Cavalier won a lower grade chase at Ayr recently and is upped 9lb while MAXED OUT KING also has a hike in the weights to contend with. But the latter has now won both starts over fences after scoring over 2m4f here last time and Sue Smith’s charge looks capable of better still. The Herds Garden was placed in better company at Carlisle in October but has yet to win in 13 starts over fences.
