In depth
Verdict
Agincourt is a good jumper but is not the quickest and may be taken off his feet, while Chanarlie looks up against it, and will do well to reach the frame this time. Ballybrophy ran an absolute cracker on his first outing for two years at Warwick last month on what was his chase debut. He will come on for the run and we can see him running into a place despite his relative inexperience. Gladtoknowyou impressed with his comeback win at Kempton as it was his first outing in three years and his first over fences. Strictly at the weights he may struggle to confirm that form over Flinders Chase but is open to more improvement. Russell House showed the well- being of the Alan King stable when scoring at Doncaster, but needed oxygen afterwards and might not have suitably recovered. Norlandic was an early faller at Taunton on Thursday and is well handicapped on his best form despite topweight. In a trappy affair, an each-way investment on Gladtoknowyou may pay dividends.
