Verdict

FINDUSATGORCOMBE’s recent win at Fontwell came over fences but he also scored at the same track over hurdles last year and is only 2lb higher. Bryony Frost rides so he looks the pick of his stable’s two runners ahead of Quinto. Indian Reel, We'll Be There and Georgina Joy probably have each-way claims while Jonjo O’Neill will be hoping blinkers spark a revival in Walter Oneeightone. Sapphire Noire and Buck Bravo have both won point-to-points recently and this wouldn’t be the most competitive of handicaps.
