In depth
Verdict
Bumper winner Native Approach met a couple of smart performers on her hurdling debut at Taunton, and was far from disgraced in third place. She can put that experience to good use here and record her first victory over timber. Mincarlo was putting in her best work at the finish when third at Wincanton last time, so should come into her own over this trip and may prove to be the biggest danger to the selection. Jenga is making her debut under rules here, and was runner-up in a point-to-point last season so is worth keeping an eye on in the betting exchanges.
