Verdict
Gipsy Lee Rose’s only previous win over fences came here off a 9lb higher mark but more recent form has been disappointing. Breaking The Ice won this off a pound higher mark last year but Kauto D'Amour returns from more than 12 months on the sidelines. Only a neck separated HIDDEN COMMANDER and Without Conviction at Kelso last month and the runner-up is a pound better off. Stuart Coltherd’s top weight is fancied to confirm that form, however.
