Verdict

With question marks over just about all the runners, top weight THIRD ACT might have been found an opportunity to return to winning ways. He's been struggling over fences but competes here off a lower mark and won't get many better opportunities to recover his form. Drewmain Legend may prove the main danger if in the same kind of form as when runner-up last time out, a comment that similarly applies to Upham Running, who went close at big odds recently. Be Daring has attracted money nearly every time he has run this season, but he is a chancey proposition, although undoubtedly capable.
  1. Third Act
