In depth
Verdict
Tikkinthebox represents last year’s winning yard and should be sharper for a recent comeback run at Wincanton but Soulsaver remains 8lb higher than when scoring over hurdles here at this time last year as he reverts to chasing. Red Devil Star posted a better effort at Chepstow last time having unseated over these fences behind WAIKIKI WAVES in March. The latter shrugged off a 6lb rise for an earlier success at Leicester on that occasion and looks the one to beat again given Rendezvous Peak was already fading when falling behind the selection on his reappearance.
