In depth

Verdict

While not always the safest of conveyances, Big Rob has bags of ability and gets the vote ahead of Tigers Lair and Full House. The last mentioned has claims on the form that he showed at Wetherby in October but he has disappointed since and now has a career high mark to defy. Nicky Henderson's Scots Grey has ability but is not the most consistent of performers, while Duncliffe remains unexposed but unconvincing. Tigers Lair is entitled to strip fitter for his recent return and has to be considered but Big Rob remains potentially well treated and he gets the vote in the hope that his jumping holds up.
