In depth
Verdict
Master Henry landed a gamble on Saturday and, if taking his place in the line-up, can score again. He jumped well at Cartmel over the weekend and connections might be keen to make the most of his confidence being at a high. Ceresfield comes here fit and well and is also a recent Carlisle winner. Raised just two pounds for that success, he too will be competitive here. Sharp Steel came good at Worcester last time but is now eight pounds higher, while Dual Star is now seven pounds better off for having finished 16 lengths behind the selection at Newton Abbot earlier in the month, although the latter ran as though something was amiss that day. How Ran On looks pretty exposed now and Pure Brief has not looked anything out of the ordinary so far over fences. If he runs, then, Master Henry looks the one to beat.
