        Verdict

        Roll The Dough has been in fine form since returning to action in September and won three of his four starts over fences subsequently. But he’s upped in class and raised a further 4lb after his latest success at Hereford. Tommy Silver last won a chase at this time last year and has slipped down the weights since. He should go well on the back of a fourth at Aintree but SISTER SIBYL (NAP) looks the more progressive. She found the smart chaser Diakali too good when dropped back to 2m at Cheltenham on her reappearance but Hughie Morrison’s mare had won over 2m4f at Warwick back in May and gets the vote to come good again in this. Officer Hoolihan remains 7lb higher than when last winning and Bestwork continues to struggle while Deauville Dancer was due to run at Exeter yesterday.
