Verdict

MY BROTHER SYLVEST, withdrawn from a handicap at Market Rasen on Friday, has the best form of those with experience over fences having been placed three times in the autumn. We'll take a chance on his fitness and give him the vote though Roger Beantown will have benefited from a close-up fourth at Stratford last month and Double Handful wasn't beaten far over a shorter trip at Huntingdon on his fencing bow. Fearless Leader might need this but looked a promising prospect last year and Green Bank, High Storm and Roses Legend are others who could play a part.
