      Verdict

      Boagrius had worked his way back into contention at Huntingdon last time only to blunder and unseat his rider. Earlier placed efforts suggest he can go close with a clear round but RAILROAD JUNKIE makes more appeal. The latter made a winning start over fences in September and showed further progress with last month’s course and distance success. Evan Williams’ charge looks worth sticking with in this given Kings Walk was well beaten on his chasing bow and failed to complete over fences at Sandown last time. Rainy Day Dylan has struggled over the larger obstacles so far and points winner Legend Of Zorro makes his chasing debut.
