      Verdict

      Snake Rave makes his reappearance after being pulled-up in a point-to-point back in 2009. He appeared to be getting his act together over fences before that and is worth noting on his return. JERINGA has notched up a frustrating run of seconds but his latest effort behind Elzahann over C&D looks the best recent form on offer and he's dropped in class today. John Wade's charge is preferred to Toulouse Express, who finished a creditable third at Newcastle recently and should go well, as should Play The Rock, who produced a better effort at the same track last time.
