In depth
Verdict
Landmeafortune never won over hurdles but went close here in January when only a pound lower. King Of The Dark and Jackofhearts have chasing experience so have to be considered. Rolling Thunder was inconsistent over timber but has won a point-to-point while Landmarque was third behind a subsequent winner at Carlisle last month. DANEHILLS WELL won twice between the flags earlier in the year and was also second in a hunter chase. He may cope better than most over these tricky fences.
