Verdict
Jupiter De Bussy looks to have some of the best form on show and is taken by TEAMtalk to land this muddling bumper for Lenny Lungo. Although well beaten on his most recent outing his penultimate run was a fine effort at Haydock. Little Sport also has some decent form and was highly regarded enough to be sent to Aintree last season for their top class bumper event. Outclassed that day, this is more his level and he should be capable of running a big race. Mick Easterby horses are always respected at this level and his Society Buck showed he was useful when scoring at Sedgefield a few months ago. He will find things more difficult with his penalty but should still run well.
