Verdict
Drive On Jim has struggled since being handed a 10lb rise for scoring over the trip at Punchestown in January. Pocketfullapennies looks handicapped to the hilt and hasn't proved he stays this far and though Wise Oscar has dropped to a fair mark he's been badly out of form. More Chimney's has had 15 starts over fences without winning but he's getting closer and a repeat of his last two runs would certainly see him in the mix. Cochise has bits of form that would give him a chance though he has a poor strike-rate so this can go to DOCTOR WOODFIELD, who is on the same mark as when runner-up to The Bosses Nephew over a slightly shorter trip here in December.
