Verdict
The useful Jenkins won this last year for Nicky Henderson and BURROWS EDGE should follow suit. After getting off the mark at Market Rasen, he was a wide-margin winner at Hereford last month and James Bowen’s claim helps offset his double penalty. Luckofthedraw runs in colours often seen in the winner’s enclosure here and the bumper winner will no doubt improve on his fourth at Chepstow but it’s difficult to make a case for many of the others.
