Verdict
STRESS has only had run over fences under Rules but has won three times between the flags and gave a bold display of jumping to beat favourite Festival Bound at Northaw three weeks ago. He can come out on top again here. Native Bob disappointed in a different contest at the same meeting while Oscar The Myth is now tried in blinkers after failing to get competitive at Penshurst. Accessallareas is preferred to Dunegan Castle of the others but needs to improve to get involved.
