Verdict
Cooper's Cross won at Sedgefield in November though failed to complete at the same track last time. Brotherly Company completed a double last summer and has a shout dropping back down in class for this but CABOY makes most appeal. The latter posted a much better effort on his first outing after wind surgery when going close over these fences and looks capable of getting his head back in front off his current mark. Woodbrook Boy has to race off a higher mark back over fences and has his first start since October.
