Verdict

On past form SIR JACK YEATS edges the vote as the one to side with here. He is expected to strip a lot fitter after his reappearance run at Kelso and will be hard to overhaul if puts in anything like the effort which saw him finish ninth in the Foxhunters at Aintree last year. Dineur has also got Liverpool form which reads very well and he appeals as a more adventurous option. Zeroeshadesofgrey has done well in point-to-points and will also be thereabout if he can up the ante back over regulation fences. Silvergrove has a long absence to overcome but appeals as the best of the rest.
