Verdict

Optimistic Harry, Donovan, On The Forty and Percipient are the ones to look closely at with the vote going to the last named. Percipient has been a model of consistency this season before winning at Worceseter last time out in claiming company over hurdles. This is a different proposition as he reverts back to the larger obstacles here which he has form over so this should not pose a problem. With confidence on his side he could prove difficult to beat. Optimistic Harry will find this tougher than his Uttoxeter win as he carries a penalty for his eight length success that day. He also jumped badly right which on a left handed course will be against him. Donovan drops down in grade after his defeat at Aintree in May. He is better judged on his win at Kelso prior to that and will be in the shake up here as could On The Forty who is unpredictable but comes from a yard who have just hit form. But for the winner we return to Percipient.
