In depth
Verdict
Pateen has gone up 5lb for a course and distance win last month but Aaron Anderson claims that back and Jessica Bedi’s veteran is much respected. Jessica Rabbit would have a chance on her best form but has changed stables again since last seen pulling up in a chase at Sedgefield in September. Belvedere Blast has obvious claims having already won twice at Market Rasen this month but the interesting one is LIGHTENING COMPANY, who is totally unexposed over hurdles and won a Class 2 handicap on the Flat in April.
