Verdict

HARDY BOY may not be the most fluent of jumpers, but he's acquitted himself well on all completed starts over the larger obstacles so far and Ben Pauling's 6-y-o is narrowly preferred to double his tally back down in trip at the expense of Sermando, who was unlucky to bump into a handicap blot reverted to fences at Worcester 4 weeks ago. The lightly raced 9-y-o Tango Echo Charlie makes his chasing debut and he looks best of the remainder.

  1. HARDY BOY (FR)
  2. SERMANDO (FR)
  3. TANGO ECHO CHARLIE (IRE)
