In depth
Verdict
Unless the remainder show massive improvement on what they've achieved so far, this should only concern Mister Chancer and MR MOSS. The former was placed twice in bumpers last year and again over hurdles at Market Rasen last month. But he is certainly vulnerable to an improver like Evan Williams' points winner, who was pitted against decent opposition on his hurdling debut at Ffos Las in January and will know more today. Radmores Oscar may be best of the rest.
