Verdict
TOM BARTON is the unknown quantity in this. He’s only eight but has won seven of his 18 starts between the flags and might enjoy a fitness advantage over likely favourite Port Melon, though Paul Nicholls’ charge has a good record around here and was running off a mark of 132 when last seen in action. Along with another course winner, Such A Legend, Boher Call carries a penalty but has each-way claims and makes more appeal than No Likey.
