Verdict

Storm Survivor is likely to be suited by this step up in trip and is reunited with McCoy after his second over 3m2f at Doncaster. Caim Hill is a model of consistency but hasn't won over fences for almost two years. Folsom Blue looks high enough in the weights now but Kevin Sexton's claim will aid his cause and he ran a cracker in the Irish Grand National 12 days ago. Raajih was third over a shorter trip at Fairyhouse on the same day and can't be ignored. JUPITOR stayed on strongly to beat Glenquest and Carry Each Other over 3m1f at Fairyhouse a little under a month ago and, though the placed horses are slightly better off, is expected to confirm that running over this longer distance. He's improved since finishing behind Folsom Blue here in February so gets the nod.
