Verdict

Red Hot Indian will win this if his jumping holds up he was a good winner at Cartmel and then was sent off favourite next time out when he was an early casualty if his confidence has not been effected he will win. Shellin Hill would be the one to benefit if anything happened to the favourite he was second behind Knight's Emperor last time and should run his race again. Polish Pilot would have a chance at his best but he has become very disappointing of late. Divulge would also go close but he to has had his jumping problems, the remainder are mainly disappointing sorts.
