      In depth

      Verdict

      Bobonyx has been showing a bit more on softer going lately but is starting to creep up the weights again. Saint Breiz has been alternating between fences and hurdles but is 0-11 over the larger obstacles. Diamond Life was only beaten half-a-length at Leicester a year ago but has shown little since. TACTICAL MANOEUVRE has had another year to mature since last seen over fences. He was third over hurdles here nine days ago off a 2lb higher mark and could be the answer to a modest handicap.
