In depth
Verdict
Krackatoa King ran well at Bangor on his first start since March and should be in the mix once again. But preference goes to FINGERONTHESWITCH, not beaten that far when only seventh over these fences last time in a higher grade contest. Allchilledout never recovered from a bad blunder on his chasing bow and was pulled-up at Lingfield but Phangio won over track and trip in November and can race off a similar mark. Albert D'olivate beat Ballyrock over hurdles here last year and was placed over fences at Exeter on his penultimate start while Lady Robyn is one to note on her chasing debut.
