Verdict

Cobolobo is upped 6lb for winning at Uttoxter and Never Equalled is 4lb higher than when scoring over 2m4f here in March. Jennys Day finished well ahead of Rafafie when runner-up at Wincanton recently while Sykes has won off today’s mark over fences and should be sharper for last month’s comeback run at Worcester. But ON THE ROAD was progressive over hurdles last year before notching-up a hat-trick of chase wins earlier this year. He returns to the smaller obstacles on his reappearance and Evan Williams’ charge gets the nod.
