Verdict

No Regrets has shown next to nothing over fences so far and Overcourt is making his debut for a new yard after 14 months on the sidelines. GRAND VOYAGE looks the one to beat despite not having quite reproduced the form he showed when winning at Ayr in the autumn. There’s a good chance that One Mill Harbour will make a better chaser than hurdler and Macavity won between the flags but winning hurdler Paddy The Horse needs to brush up his jumping.
