In depth

Verdict

Last year's winner Red Brook Lad has been in good form in point-to-points recently and he is selected over previous course and distance scorer Sikander A Azam, who is also in good heart at present. Satchmo and Emperor Ross are others to throw into the mix and will be interesting to note in the betting market if they are supported. The last mentioned is ground dependant and his chance will increase if the rains arrive. Whereas Satchmo, fourth in the Fox Hunters Chase at Aintree last year, also arrives after a win in the pointing fields and has to be given plenty of respect in this company. As a previous winner of this race he has to be given plenty of respect but, as he is now five years down the line, it is safe to assume that the younger brigade will know all there is to know about him. Sikander A Azam will be a big danger to the selection if he runs up to form. He will handle the ground and one of the more experienced riders in Tom Greenhall doing the steering. He is unable to use his 3lb claim but should ensure that there is no let up in the pace. However, Red Brook Lad appears to have been primed for a bid to retain his crown and he can grant Charlotte Tizzard a smooth passage on a track he knows very well.
