Verdict

The lightly-raced NO REGRETS was a wide-margin winner at Southwell and should have few problems coping with a penalty but is probably taking on slightly better company here. Galardo is 0-8 but was well backed on his first run for Philip Kirby and is probably capable of better. Coby Nine was second at Plumpton and Taunton last autumn and should be winning soon while Fibonacci was a staying-on second at Newbury on his last appearance over timber and won over 1m6f on the Flat at Sandown last month. Road To Reward may do better when switched to fences.
