In depth

Verdict

The market will be the best guide to the chances of Peqeno Diablo, South Stack and Glan Lady after a lay-off while Pobs Trophy was well beaten at Wincanton on Sunday and is only a plater nowadays. SENDINPOST can hardly be described as progressive and his jumping remains a cause for concern, but Harry Challoner takes off 3lb in this and he's probably the one to beat if he can fiddle his way around. Around A Pound has taken a while to acclimatise since arriving from Ireland but was second at Carlisle last time and should play a part. He makes more appeal than Orang Outan and Speedy Directa.
