    Verdict

    Bak To Bill, Flora Muck, Belski and Nativetrial look to be the main protagonists and we will side with the Nigel Twiston-Davies mare Flora Muck. The selection finished a fair third last time behind Supreme Arrow at Huntingdon, but her jumping let her down that day and if she can get her act together over the fences she will be hard to beat on the pick of her form. Bak To Bill is sure to be a danger on the best of his form, but he was well beaten last time behind Janus Du Cochet on this track. He had previously finished well down the field at Leicester, when Belski was one of those to beat him home. This gelding from the Colin Tizzard yard also has winning form on this track when defeating Bak To Bill, but he may find this trip stretches his stamina to the limit so he could be worth opposing on those grounds. Nativetrial was well beaten last time behind Bee An Bee at Folkestone, but he is capable of better on a going day, so in an open race we will give our vote to Flora Muck.
