        Verdict

        Kaiserstolz showed much improved form for a combination of waiting tactics and a step up in trip to score with authority at Worcester last time and can follow up under a 7lb rise. The Bongo Man had some useful Irish form but has suffered from a breathing problem in recent seasons and is becoming disappointing but Glacial Missile showed signs of a return to form over timber last time having struggled over fences and is entitled to go close.
