Verdict
This does not look to be the strongest of contests and it may be best to stick with the likely favourite Bobayaro despite his disappointing early fall last time out. However his previous form over fences would certainly put him as the one to beat here and he is worth another chance. Tarbolton Moss was a decent stayer over hurdles and there is a lot to like about his attitude. He disappointed on his last start but has shown potential over fences and has the beating of Behavingbadly on previous clashes. The remainder are hard to enthuse about including Granite Steps who has badly let himself down recently with his jumping.
