In depth
Verdict
Brinkley comes out best at the weights on hurdling form though debuts over fences on his first outing since March. OSCAR ELITE is preferred as he was travelling well when falling at Cheltenham on last month’s chasing bow and Colin Tizzard won the last renewal of this in 2019 with the smart Slate House. Barbados Buck's needs to brush up his jumping judged on a third at Wetherby while Honest Vic disappointed at Exeter last time and dual point-to-point winner Black Jasper has a difficult task on his debut under Rules.
