In depth
Verdict
Another low-graded event which looks at the mercy of World Wide Web who can complete a hat-trick. Jonjo O'Neill's charge has been in excellent form of late having landed handicap hurdles at Sandown and Chepstow last month and looks favourably treated off his current mark on his return to there larger obstacles. Jolly Side has shown a consistent level of form and should give another good account while the lightly campaigned Jan's Dream shaped better last time and shouldn't be underestimated. Shannon Quest is another to consider after a fair effort last time while Renaloo is a course and distance winner and enters calculations from the foot of the handicap.
