Verdict

This looks pretty trappy and the percentage call is to side with UNIT SIXTYFOUR, who didn't do much wrong switched to fences last season prior to misfiring on his latest start during the spring. Given his otherwise solid record in this sphere, that can probably be put down to a 'bad day in the office'. Jolly Nellerie is of interest now tackling fences and he is feared most ahead of C&D winners Gandhi Maker and Six One Nine.
