Verdict
Pileon has every chance at the weights and better is expected today having struggled at Cheltenham on his chasing debut. Annsam ended last year with a double over hurdles but fell on his first start over fences while Seven De Baune didn’t get very far at Market Rasen before unseating. HOUSE ISLAND was no match for the winner when second at Newbury on his chasing bow but showed promise and will know more today.
