Verdict

COURTANDBOULD delivered a sure-footed round of jumping when making it second time lucky over fences at Uttoxeter where he got the better of useful types Beyond The Clouds and Pisgah Pike. There should be more to come from this 7-y-o and he is marginally preferred to Yccs Portocervo, who arrives here on the back of a couple of solid efforts. Lock's Corner also enters calculations.

  1. COURTANDBOULD (IRE)
  2. YCCS PORTOCERVO (FR)
  3. LOCK'S CORNER (IRE)
