Verdict

CROSSPARK made a winning start over fences at Southwell back in May. He may prove good enough given a couple of subsequent winners have come out of the race. Doitforthevillage also won over fences at Warwick earlier this year but several of the chasing newcomers are rated higher than the latter over timber. That includes recent hurdles winner Poker School while Dream Berry scored over timber at Market Rasen in April and is preferred to stablemate Champagne At Tara and the returning Bun Doran. Roll The Dough was sent off favourite at Worcester on his chasing bow but faded badly in the closing stages and should do better here.
