Verdict
Fisher Green is a three-times winner around here and is 3lb lower than his last victory on the track. Three Castles, three-times a winner on the Flat. has had his last five runs on this track but never really looked like losing his maiden tag over timber. He was only fifth last time in a race where Sword Of Fate was a 50/1 chance and finished runner-up to Breguet Boy with Diamond State a further 4 lengths behind. BALRANALD, who started favourite that day on the back of a good run over further here, fell at the fifth and can gain compensation. Set In Stone completed a double in jumpers' bumpers at Newcastle and with a victory over hurdles and six on the Flat to her credit can never be discounted.
