Verdict
Last year's Scottish Grand National winner Al Co can race off a lower mark over timber though never threatened when third over hurdles at Doncaster three weeks ago. But WESTERN JO finished a lot closer when second at the same track last month and Philip Hobbs' charge may be up to landing this off his current mark. Long Lunch has a shout on December's third at Ascot but Our Mick has something to find with the selection on latest running at Doncaster and on a long losing run. Leave It Be remains unexposed after scoring at Newbury but will need to improve further off a 10lb higher mark.
