Verdict
Goa Lil arrives in good form having won over fences in August and scoring off the same mark over hurdles at Perth last time. But MERCIAN PRINCE went close in a higher grade chase than this at Worcester last month and a similar effort should see Amy Murphy’s charge go one better. Master Work and Fairway Freddy return to action with a shout but Tikkinthebox was still beaten a long way when third at Newton Abbot and Versatility debuts for a new yard.
