Verdict

A low-grade finale which is mainly populated by veteran handicappers. An exception is the mare Mrs Vonn who could well prove capable of following up her recent Kelso win (wasn't unsupported in the market despite being sent off at odds of 20/1). That said, there are other realistic alternatives at potentially more rewarding odds. One must forgive Ever So Much for his efforts during the 2018/19 jumps season, but assuming that he's back on song he merits each-way consideration with ground conditions in his favour. However, for very small stakes we'll chance the Hexham regular APACHE PILOT who finished 5L third to Sharney Sike in this contest 12 months ago.
  1. Apache Pilot
  2. Mrs Vonn
  3. Ever So Much
