      In depth

      Verdict

      Wood Pigeon will probably start favourite as he’s been placed in six of his 13 starts over fences, though has only won once and is still 6lb higher. Run Don't Hide was third at Southwell on his debut over the larger obstacles while One Style is starting to slip down the weights and shouldn’t be far away. HILL FORT was occasionally clumsy over hurdles so there is no guarantee he’ll take to chasing but he’s thrown in on his best form over timber so gets a tentative vote.
