In depth
Verdict
IBETELLINGYOUALIE has had eleven starts in hunter chases and between the flags and been placed in the last nine, including two victories. He can gain victory number three here. Annacarton won seven point-to-points before turning to handicaps but he hasn't had much joy in handicaps and has failed to score though this is easier. Commanchewardance has won just once over regulation fences and has had plenty of chances but Fergiethelegend looks a big threat. He won two point-to-points early last year and has since run creditably over hurdles. Racing over fences for the first time here he looks certain to give a good account.
