In depth
Verdict
Tom Scudamore partners Fantasy King but it would be no surprise if Rachael McDonald's mount did best of the Jimmy Moffat runners. Chebsey Beau had Chilly Miss behind when making a winning reappearance at Bangor and confirmed his well-being by following up on the Flat so warrants respect. But HONEY POUND's defeat of Welcometothejungle at Newton Abbot was franked by the runner-up earlier this week and Tim Vaughan's gelding can defy a 7lb higher mark. Miss Macnamara has shot up the weights this year but still looks best of the rest.
