In depth

Verdict

EPSWELL was placed in three bumpers in France but her dam is from the family of Welsh National winner Edmund so jumping will be her game. Melly And Me was very unruly pre-race in two starts last October but was on his best behaviour on his reappearance at Kilbeggan in June and only just failed to overhaul Dreamtide, who was receiving 10lb. He'll find any chinks in the selection's armour while Unchago has only run three times and has the scope to do better. Masterofdiscovery has a penalty for his Flat victories and could have been found an easier start over timber.
