Verdict
David Wintle has his horses in fine form at present and On The Run is taken as the TEAMtalk selection to win this poor contest. His best form is on a fast surface and he is a steady jumper. With doubts about the rest of the field he could get his head in front for the first time. Shellin Hill fell at the second fence last time out but had previously scored in a similar contest at Southwell. He could give the selection most to do. The rest make little appeal.
