In depth
Verdict
This looks an impenetrable handicap but IHAVENTABOB could give us a good run as he's 16lb lower over hurdles compared to his chase rating. Admittedly he disappointed at Wetherby last time but scored grittily on his two previous outings and could go really well off this appealing mark. Inter Mutanda moved sweetly through the race when securing the runner-up spot at Clonmel last time and could be a major player here if staying this trip on what is clearly suitable ground. Fastey is asked to concede weight all round but has decent claims of doing so if ready after a considerable break, while Frankford is another who could get in the mix if primed for this return to action.
