In depth

Verdict

This seems to lie between Paddy The Piper and Your A Gasman, with the vote going to Paddy The Piper. The selection is a six-time winner in bumpers and over hurdles and also scored last time over fences, at this track. His trainer rates him highly and, over this longer trip, he can improve further and looks the one to beat. Your A Gasman defied his market odds to run very well in a handicap chase last time and, with his stable in such good form, he can give the selection the most to do. Of the others, Now Then Sid looks best, and he was well behind the selection here last time. Once again, then, Paddy The Piper looks the one to beat.
