    Verdict

    SOLDIER OF LOVE’s most recent form figures don’t make great reading but he was only beaten seven lengths by the smart Galvin at Cheltenham last season and would win this in a canter if anywhere near that form. Black Anthem has won three times over hurdles and three times over fences and can chase him home, despite also lacking a recent run.
