Verdict

TOBY LERONE was fourth in a Grade 2 chase at Haydock on his latest outing. He won over the larger obstacles at Lingfield in December and has some decent form over hurdles so is impossible to oppose here. Royale Django won on his debut at Perth last June but has been well beaten in a couple of subsequent starts and has a penalty to carry again today. The Wexfordian may be the one for forecast-backers, therefore, as he was third on his hurdles bow at Uttoxeter and should do better upped in trip.
