In depth

Verdict

Grange Ranger will probably start favourite having been in good form over fences recently but LALOCHEZIA was making his debut under Rules when runner-up to a Paul Nicholls-trained favourite over a longer trip here 10 days ago. The first two pulled a long way clear and Justin Landy’s charge can go one better granted normal improvement. Itsnotyouitsme was well backed over fences here earlier in the month but never jumped with any fluency and was pulled up. His hurdles form is arguably the best on offer and he should be in the firing-line.
