    Verdict

    DRUMBEAR travels over from Ireland and should be winning this with a clear round. A maiden hurdle winner at Musselburgh last month, he has little to beat in this despite carrying a penalty. The remainder have all been well beaten so far though Sisu may do better over this longer trip and Lenny is preferred to Joanna I'm Fine on earlier form in bumpers.
