In depth

Verdict

Only Tango Echo Charlie has chasing experience and he was pulled up at Southwell after winning at Fontwell. Farmer's Gamble disappointed on his final start over hurdles but that was in a Class 2 and he looks the type to make a chaser. The soft going won’t faze Pachacuti but HOT ROD LINCOLN (NAP) won a point as a five-year-old and got off the mark over hurdles in the spring. He may prove the pick of the weights today ahead of Howaya Now and Hurlerontheditch.
