In depth

Verdict

In receipt of weight from the rest of the runners in this novices' event the four-year-old Trumpington has to be respected but is again likely to find at least one too good. The consistent Do It On Dani should be thereabouts but would arguably prefer further and, if able to show his best after an absence of three months, it will be a surprise if anything beats Jonjo O'Neill's Mighty Montefalco. A winner over course and distance in April, Tony McCoy's mount ran too badly to be true last time and after the break could be interesting.
