      Verdict

      Gold Ingot has made the frame the last twice but is still running below par. Veteran Pret A Thou hasn't won over fences since 2011 while Seranwen was weakening when falling at Taunton at the start of the month in the race won by GALLIC WARRIOR. Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge should strip fitter here but may still struggle to take his revenge on Fergal O'Brien's gelding, who will handle to ground better than most. Richardofdoccombe got no further than the first at Wincanton two weeks ago and is one to be wary of now.
