Verdict
A small field could be reduced further with Jacks Touch engaged in the 2.20 Leicester yesterday. School For Scandal won over fences at Taunton in April at the 11th attempt but CALIDAD has won a point since last seen under Rules and could be more interesting with Brian Hughes taking over the reins. My Gift To You won his only chase start so far at Worcester over the summer and is an obvious danger back over the larger obstacles.
