In depth
Verdict
Little strength in depth to the finale and Conquering Love, a comfortable course and distance winner last time, may be able to defy a 5lb rise. Winning hurdler The Butterwick Kid is no stranger to success here and may pose as the main threat after recent placed efforts at Hamilton and Haydock while Little John has a handy 7lb weight pull with the selection for a three-length beating and can't be ruled out.
