In depth

Verdict

Nautical Twilight has been in decent form over fences and can revert to hurdles on a 7lb lower mark with his rider's 10lb claim also a bonus. Zoltan Varga has never won and never really looked like winning off this mark here last time though he was only just behind today's rival EDE'IFFS ELTON, who was staying on at the finish and could be good enough in a poor contest. The Tin Miner probably needs further and is better over fences while Chivers has also done better over the bigger obstacles. The veteran Little Boy Boru is 6lb lower than when scoring here in February but ran poorly on heavy going at Lingfield last time.
