Verdict

MR BIG STUFF took a step forward upped to this trip when runner-up on his reappearance at Nottingham and didn't get the rub of the green at Newbury last time, so he remains one to be interested in. Blue Trial and Swilcan Bridge are other potential improvers, especially the former who's a good-looking sort tackling 10f for the first time.

  1. MR BIG STUFF
  2. BLUE TRAIL (IRE)
  3. SWILCAN BRIDGE
