Verdict
Guy and GREAT HEART’JAC are better known as chasers but both have placed over hurdles. There wouldn’t be much between the pair at the weights but the latter has a slightly better strike-rate. Southwell winner Soldat Forte is not out of this, despite a penalty, but By Pass isn’t improving and Pavlodar was pulled up here in November.
