In depth

Verdict

DIFFERENT GRAVEY and Fascino Rustico carry 10lb penalties having won twice over hurdles already. But the former is still weighted to go close again having beaten the re-opposing A Vos Gardes three lengths at Huntingdon last time. Boite also has a bit to find on today's terms but won nicely at Southwell recently and should improve further while Gone Forever has only found one too good in three subsequent starts since winning at Market Rasen. But dual bumper winner Dance Of Time has his first start since 2013 and Drumhart has shown little so far.
