In depth

Verdict

Raregem can land the finale at the expense of Fox in The Box and Eskimo Jack. The selection has had jumping problems in the past but did manage two wins under rules last year at Leicester and Wincanton. He was a good winner of a point to point last time out suggesting that he is in good order so has to be very much respected. Fox In The Box won for Robert Alner last year at Chepstow but came to grief on his only run between the flags this season. If recapturing his best he has a live chance. Eskimo Jack has probably a better chance as he has won twice this season between the flags. His form under rules though has let him down in the past so he is to be treated with caution. So for the winner we return to Raregem.
