    In depth

    Verdict

    Jarlath was beaten twice off similar marks at Newton Abbot last month so may be worth opposing here at likely short odds. BENISSIMO is capable of more than he showed at Market Rasen as he's bred to jump fences and won twice over hurdles. Beatu has won a bumper and a hurdle but should also do better over the larger obstacles and makes more appeal than the disappointing Charlie Mon.
