Verdict
WHERE’S TIGER led into the straight behind an impressive subsequent winner on his chasing bow at Newcastle and will know more today – he is fancied to give weight to this bunch with Blair Campbell’s claim a bonus. The switch to fences might help Peppay Le Pugh but he is 0-17 under Rules and has been beaten over similar marks over hurdles lately. Black Kettle may need his first run since September and Oak Vintage has struggled off higher marks since winning at Kelso in November, though has been placed over track and trip.
