In depth
Verdict
Carnacrack is taken to get back on the winning trail here. He will go on the ground and was a good second behind D J Flippance over course and distance last time out. The Eight-year-old who was a fair hunter chaser, still has scope for improvement and is the TEAMTALK selection. Red Rampage rates the main danger as he is from a stable which is just beginning to hit top form and was a good third behind Harlov last time out at Carlisle over a shorter trip. The Eens is also worthy of consideration as he is sure to have come on for his latest run. He too will go on the ground and is fairly weighted on his best form. Tribal Run was a good winner of a Maiden Chase last time out but he appears to have been harshly treated for what he has archived over fences so far. Agincourt needs to improve on his best hurdle form to win this on his chase debut while Sniper and Atlantic Power are woefully out of form at present.
