Verdict
This looks tricky but Versatility looked to be getting the hang of chasing when fifth at Bangor. Marble Moon found only one too good on the same track in September while Lord Bryan is 3lb lower than for his last win. Forgot To Ask has been dropped a pound since his third at Wincanton and Checkitout was an eye-catcher at Uttoxeter but has to give a pound to DON LAMI, who goes well fresh and won his only start over fences at Taunton a year ago. He’s now 3-7 under Rules and his yard is in great form.
