In depth
Verdict
Veneguera is not an easy ride and while he is not one to trust, this isn't that competitive and he could go well. Kippanour stays longer than the mother-in-law and providing there is a decent gallop, he should go well, while a similar comment also applies to Martin Bosley's mare Montagnette, who wasn't suited by the lack of early pace at Leicester on her latest outing. A chance is taken with recent chase winner Commanche Jim, who can race off a 5lb lower mark than when last successful over hurdles.
