Verdict
Tonto's Spirit has been a standing dish here but age seems to have caught up with the 11-year-old. Dr Sanderson was only third when favourite at Uttoxeter but his yard continues in good form and he is a previous course winner, like veteran Ardera Cross. A good run from Broken Ice in the first race would boost the claims of Kilbeggan winner A MERE BAGATELLE (NAP), who is still unexposed over the larger obstacles. Copper Fox is another with scope and Getaway Luv and Follow Your Arrow can also figure.
