Verdict

It's difficult to be confident about the chances of plenty of those in the line-up, so the probability is that this race is far less competitive than the numbers imply. Bordeaux Bill demonstrated a gritty attitude when repelling a course specialist at Kelso, and with proven stamina over 3m should go very close to following up off just a 4lb higher mark. However, despite coming with minor risks attached (broken blood vessels in the past) the preferred choice is WHO'S MY JOCKEY. He was a massive eye-catcher when finishing third to a subsequent winner at Kempton on Boxing Day, he relishes a sound surface and newly-applied cheekpieces won't hinder in any shape or form.
