In depth
Verdict
A race that has cut up badly and, with Uncle Teddy facing a stiff task at the weights, it appears a match between Bohill Lad and Glory Storey who were both successful on their latest outing. The former made light of a competitive field in a handicap hurdle here last month and looks worth following to add to his previous victory over fences at Newton Abbot now that his confidence has been given a boost. Glory Storey was an impressive winner at Ludlow but his overall level of form leaves him with something to find.
