Verdict

This can go to REWRITETHERULES, who was probably out of his depth when pulled up in the Foxhunters' at Aintree just over 3 weeks ago but should be able to make much more of an impact back in calmer waters here. Alpha Male heads the dangers having finished runner-up in this back in 2019, ahead of another regular in this contest Enniskillen.
