Verdict

Midnight Aurora is related to winning jumpers but may need further than this. Fleeting Visit is another interesting newcomer as he had a similar rating on the Flat to SWASHBUCKLE and Aardwolf. But we’ll give another chance to Donald McCain’s stable selection in first-time blinkers as he is proven over 2m whereas Warren Greatrex’ four-year-old continues to struggle to last home over timber. The others all have some improving to do.
