In depth

Verdict

ROUND TOM made all for an easy victory between the flags last month and the former Paul Nicholls' inmate can make a successful return to racing under Rules under Will Biddick. Parkam Jack landed a novices' hunter chase here last time and looks the danger, despite his penalty, while Gershwinner has place claims again and veteran Prince Massini still retains some ability. The remainder are harder to fancy, though Josh Guerriero is interesting booking for Tallanstown Boy.
