Verdict
BEAUBOREEN gets the nod with a recent outing under his belt. He went close to landing a hat-trick when third at Uttoxeter a fortnight ago and is preferred to the returning Derrintogher Bliss. The latter ran well at Chepstow on his debut over fences last year and has gone well fresh before. I Am Colin remains 8lb higher than his success over fences at Leicester in March while Chase End Charlie was still beaten a distance when last of three at Kempton recently. Benzel and Wade Harper have also struggled of late.
