Verdict
Twice a course winner, STILL BELIEVING has pulled up in three of her last four but she does having winning form on heavy going and might be the answer to this. First Figaro has yet to win over fences and is returning from a lay-off but can’t be ruled out. Tinkers Hill Tommy never looked like winning an incident-packed race at Chepstow but stayed on into second and is 2lb lower while Overawed has placed in both starts this term. Ice Cool Champs is still higher in the weights than when scoring at Wetherby last season and appears to have completely lost his way.
