This looks wide open, with the shortlist comprised of Green Belt Elite, Divvys Dream and BOLLITREE BOB, with the last named our speculative selection. He was pulled up on debut for Jamie Snowden last time out, when returning to hurdling after chasing. This looks a decent opportunity to reclaim the form previously shown over the bigger fences, and he'll be suited by going around a right-handed track. Green Belt Elite is the highest rated here, and that from two third places from five outings, which says a lot about the ability on show. Divvy's Dream has a few pounds in hand, but again hasn't shown too much so far; any Evan Williams runner has to be respected though. We wouldn't be lumping on, but but happy to chance our luck with Bollitree Bob.
