Verdict

The Paul Nicholls/Jody Sole combination have captured this twice in the past three seasons and they look the way to go again with recent Plumpton scorer PADDY DE POLE who rates the pick of these weights under a 7 lb penalty. Wavering Down has a good record fresh so rates the chief threat on his return, although in-form duo Sylvies Dance and Jubilee Gold also merit plenty of respect.
