This may be best left to Kestick, who will be hard to get the better of if he arrives here in the same frame of mind he was in a Cheltenham last month. He did well to overcome a blunder at the fourth fence from the finish on that occasion, but still rallied to force his way into third place as the race concluded. He had previously shown solid form in point-to-points and is the safest option today. O So Bossy and Penthouse Minstrel are others to consider for the each way money.
