Wilfie Wild bounced back to form last time and can beat Victoria's Boy and Venture To Fly. The selection jumped poorly on his last excursion over regulation fences at Hexham but did much better next time out when landing a decent point in good style. With confidence restored he looks the one to be on here. Victoria's Boy also comes here with winning point form. He has also put in some decent efforts under rules and looks the main threat to to Wilfie Wild. Venture To Fly is a consistent sort and will be hard to keep out of the frame. Of the others Gus Berry will also give each-way backers a run for their money, but all things considered Wilfie Wild appears to be the best option.
