In depth

Verdict

Barton Rose has only had two runs over fences in the spring of last year and is plating class over hurdles. Bennachie began over the bigger obstacles with a good second at Bangor in May but has run very poorly subsequently. Pembroke House is back on the same mark as when gaining his only victory over fences and has to be on the short-list while Ballyegan, the winner of six races over fences, looked on the way back to form here last month. Bandol scored over the minimum at Worcester in September but was beaten when falling at Southwell and prefers quicker ground. MR BACHSTER has a strike-rate of 4-13 over fences and though well beaten when third at Ffos Las last month that was his first start since April and he would have a fine chance on his victory at Towcester in January so gets the vote.
