    Verdict

    Wolfcatcher has won two of his four chase starts but has collected a penalty for his latest victory and will not find it easy to give 16lb, less his rider’s allowance, to MINELLA FOR ME. Tom George’s charge got taken off his feet over a shorter trip last time at Kempton having won over 2m4f at Southwell before that. Lord County has won three times over hurdles this year but his chase form leaves something to be desired and Angus Milan is likely to find today’s going much too quick.
