In depth
Verdict
Woodview is one of the few that comes into this race in form and is preferred to Lago and Sol Run. The selection bounced back to form with a convincing display at Newcastle and is very well treated here despite having to carry a penalty. He's regarded as an unpredictable character by his connections but a similar display here would make him hard to beat. Lago has had just 3 starts over fences and has yet to match the level of form that he's shown over hurdles. He has the ability to be a factor in this company but hasn't always proved the most reliable in a finish. Sol Run ran well on his chase debut to take second in a similar event at Newcastle and can be forgiven his latest start at Kelso as he appeared to be a non-stayer. There should be more to come from him whilst neither Roaringwater nor Shulmin are forlorn hopes but Woodview should be hard to beat if putting his best foot forwards.
