Verdict

Nigel Twiston-Davies runs two in this with Jamie Bargary riding Sword of The Lord and son Sam getting the leg up on Northandsouth, a winner over hurdles at Uttoxeter when last seen in May. But that absence is a bit of a worry as is headgear on his first try over fences. ORCHARD ROAD also makes his debut over the larger obstacles but has the more recent form, finishing third at Kilbeggan at the start of the month. Gordon Elliott likes to send his novices here and the nine-year-old can come out on top. Crown Hill and Lake Chapala are hard to win with while Alizee De Janeiro might need this.
