In depth

Verdict

Thetalkinghorse finished runner-up at Leicester in a maiden hunter chase on his first start over regulation fences. Wizadora has won a couple of point-to-points and makes her debut under Rules while Code Blue has been in better form between the flags recently. Grouse Lodge unseated after a blunder at Towcester last month and RAILWAY DILLON was not at his best at Doncaster last time. But the latter had won one of these events at Musselburgh earlier in February and should go close with a similar effort.
