      Verdict

      Chaser Bobo Mac finished tailed off in two runs over hurdles at the end of last season and Alkopop will also be back over the larger obstacles sooner rather than later. Presenting Yeats is on a hat-trick but has little form on ground with some give. FORWARD PLAN found only one too good here and at Warwick in May and can get his head in front on his return to action aided by Ben Godfrey’s 3lb claim.
