In depth
Verdict
It may be worth taking a chance with Ratified, who has shown bits and pieces of form over fences. He doesn't look badly treated and can see off course winner Flahive's First, who faces his easiest task too date over fences. River Styx has plenty of experience over fences and is capable of going well, but he is not one to rely on.
