Verdict
A really good staying handicap to close the day. The two seven-year-olds - Docpickedme and Famous Bridge - should both have more to come over fences along with the youngest member of the field, Haute Estime. Famous Bridge makes most appeal of the trio but a speculative punt is taken on BALI BODY. The Newland inmate receives weight all round, has won or placed on all three chase starts and should have more to offer over the larger obstacles as he gains experience. Credo is also noted as he has taken very well to fences and it will be interesting to see how he handles the best company he has kept over fences to date. Sidi Ismael has a tough task on reappearance off topweight, but do keep an eye on Eleanor Bob in the market on this return from an absence of well over 600 days.
