Verdict

Thunder Rock has been struggling against the handicapper in recent starts over fences and Jonjo O'Neill's gelding could be of interest back over hurdles today but RAJEH is lightly raced over timber and gets the vote to follow up his recent success at Market Rasen with the main danger rated as Silver Adonis. Richard Newland's gelding stepped up on previous efforts this term when running out the ready winner of a handicap chase at Hereford earlier this month and he has to be respected off an 8lb lower mark back over hurdles. His form over timber is some way short of that over the larger obstacles though and he may be best watched. Sheena West's Tobago Bay could probably do with some help from the handicapper and may struggle to give weight away all round, while Rory Boy was well held when last seen at Cheltenham in April. David Arbuthnot's King Ar Aghaidh is less exposed than most of these after just eight career starts and, having been dropped 3lbs since running a decent second to Englishtown at Southwell in July on his most recent start, he looks well treated. Preference though is for John Spearing's Rajeh, who was good value for his win at Market Rasen last month and he is taken to defy a 4lb rise for that success.
