Verdict

MON PARRAIN is clear of the rest on these terms and has obvious claims having won one of these events at Fontwell in February. The return to a longer trip will suit after disappointing when second over 2m4f last time. Colbert Station looks next best on his earlier placed efforts at Bangor and Ludlow and has a bit to spare with Join Together but though Ni Sin E Mo Ainm has won over hurdles and three times in point-to-points this is his first start over regulation fences.
