In depth

Verdict

This looks a straightforward task for Bow Strada, whose win at Leicester was given a boost yesterday by the success of Captains Table. A 130 rated hurdler, he still has a way to go to equal that mark over fences, but he jumps well and should continue to progress. Fireball Macnamara ruined his chance with some sloppy fencing at Fakenham and will need to jump much better here if he is to have a chance, while a bigger threat could come from Owen Brennan's Fireaway, who looks every inch a chaser in the making.
