In depth
Verdict
A fairly open event with a wide range of jockeyship on view makes this difficult for punters but Epsilo de La Ronce has solid credentials and gets the vote with a capable amateur on board. The selection recorded back-to-back victories for today's rider in similar company at Cheltenham and Warwick last May and looks ready to strike following his encouraging effort behind a useful type at Leicester earlier in the month. Hee's A Dancer has been lightly campaigned over regulation fences of late but has gone well here in the past and his confidence will be high following a recent success between the flags. Gatorade and Annaghmore Gale both return from a spell on the sidelines but showed decent form earlier in the season and are capable of going close if fit while the consistent Route One has place claims once again.
