Verdict
Regal Approach has won off a much higher mark over fences but was pulled up at Ffos Las last time. The four-year-old Ctappers has run well on the Flat since finishing third at Uttoxeter while Be All Man went close in a jumpers' bumper at Lingfield last month and wouldn't be without a chance. Market Option, Billy Dutton and Goodtoknow all have place claims and Heronry shouldn't be far away but Liberty Court has plenty of weight and Clowance House may need this. LOST LEGEND caught the eye when fourth in a better race at Plumpton on his latest start and appears to be heading in the right direction - he's fancied to get off the mark in this.
