Edged right and slowly away, soon chasing leaders, not fluent 2nd, closed and hanging right 7th, led briefly before not fluent 3 out, just over 1 length down last, no impression towards finish op 11/4 tchd 5/2
Cave Top (11/8), Top Ville Ben (5/2), Eaton Hill (11/4), Crucial Role (3/1), Robin Of Locksley (6/1)
Robin Of Locksley has plenty to prove back over hurdles, but fellow top-weight Top Ville Ben is coming to the boil and has to be respected. This is an easier race than the last two Eaton Hill has contested and he could make his presence felt along with handicap debutant Crucial Role, but CAVE TOP is the most progressive of these and can defy his rise in the weights.
