Verdict

Lucky Clover saves his best form for this sharp track he will love the ground goes well fresh and he will be hard to beat despite top weight. Simber Hill has shown improved form of late and he would have won last time but for a bad mistake three out and if his jumping holds up he will be danger to all. Tathmin could also go well but he was beaten at odds on last time and he appears not to relish a fight. Maidstone Monument is also a course and distance winner but he looks in the handicappers grip at present.
