Verdict
This looks ultra-competitive and that is likely to be reflected in the market. Kris Cross is climbing the weights but has taken well to fences. Knock A Hand has a touch of class and can't be ignored while Pinerolo and Dare To Endeavour are both chasing hat-tricks. Sue Smith's charge looks an out-and-out stayer and may find a couple of these too quick but won't mind the ground, which will also suit Renard D'Irlande. BOBCATBILLY still looks fairly treated despite an effortless win at Haydock. He's upped in trip here but doesn't look to have any stamina limitations having already won over 3m in point-to-points. Lamb Or Cod is nicely handicapped on his hurdles form but still has something to learn about jumping fences.
