Verdict
HEATH HUNTER is still 5lb higher than when scoring over course and distance in January but he's been dropped a couple of pounds since his latest fourth in a higher grade at Newbury, when he only weakened after the last, and can get back to winning ways. Clyne may have needed the run when third at Exeter last month and he's preferred to another course and distance winner, Lac Sacre, who has disappointed recently. Bishop Wulstan has also been out of sorts and the Llewellyn pair Pandorica and Global Thrill make more appeal.
