In depth

Verdict

After unseating his rider on his fencing bow, the grey Predictive came good here last time. He was a consistent sort over hurdles but is probably better over further and Jason Maguire has opted to ride stablemate GLENWOOD KNIGHT. He is less exposed and, though it was a surprise he was outpaced by Best Lover over 2m1f at Hexham on his reappearance, this longer trip will play to his strengths. Catch Bob ran a nice race at Sedgefield last time while Mister Marker's Carlisle run is sure to have blown away a few cobwebs. Ashfield's Dream won well on his chasing debut at Market Rasen and can't be ignored as he's still relatively lightly-raced under rules.
