Verdict
Hunters Call finished fourth in the Greatwood at Cheltenham around this time last year and placed later in the Lanzarote at Kempton. But he is hard to win with while a few of these, including Bold Plan and Umbrigado, will likely be back over fences sooner rather than later. Isthebaropen has won three of her last four, including one over course and distance, but Tinnahalla tries a new trip and Llandinabo Lad pulled up over 2m4f at Aintree in April and steps out of novice company for the first time. GOOBINATOR (NAP) has won twice on the Flat this year and ran a cracker when fourth in last month’s Cesarewitch. He’s clearly improved since last seen over timber and looks well treated.
