Verdict

Several in with chances but the return to patient tactics seemed to suit UNDERSUPERVISION when landing the Grimthorpe Chase at Doncaster last month. He's been hit with a 4 lb rise, but that may not be enough to prevent Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge from following up. Mister Malarky was runner-up to the selection last time and he's taken to fill that same spot here, ahead of Chambard, who is sure to be popular having added a Cheltenham Festival success to his CV last time.
