Verdict

Jimmy The Digger took off with Andrew Tinkler at Sandown and, after blundering through the first two obstacles, eventually fell on the flat. He’s probably best watched here which might leave the two previous winners fighting out the finish. Khage was an easy winner over course and distance last month and an earlier second at Ffos Las has been franked but he carries a double penalty so has to give 13lb to the four-year-old OLEG, who made a pleasing start for Paul Nicholls at Kelso and should have more to offer.
