Verdict

Classic Clover is a previous C&D winner but has been plying his trade in hunter chases this season and may not be the force of old. Joe Tizzard also prefers Skipper's Lad, who has been knocking on the door but is proving expensive to follow. TERRIBLE TENANT has always reserved his best for this track and the 12-year-old is 23lb lower than when second over C&D a year ago. He gets a tentative vote with Reymysterio's recent third at Ffos Las unlikely to be good enough here.
