Verdict
Form under Rules is a bit thin on the ground in this bumper so there will be some guesswork involved. Paul Nicholls has won the last two and Doin'whatshelikes should know more after a fifth at Sandown. Minella Tara won on Polytrack at Lingfield and is penalised and Bothwell Bridge is more interesting after a second at Huntingdon. Simon Munir has snapped up December’s points winner Valleres but we’ll take a chance on another convert from that sphere in BOOTHILL. By Presenting and a half-brother to a winning hurdler/chaser, he should have the pace for this. Newcomer Dynamo Boy is also worth a market check.
