Verdict
Fred Bojangals is 3lb higher than when successful in this 12 months ago and will struggle to stage a repeat. There's every prospect of Relax adding to his three victories over fences so far, however, while Red Tanber boasts a terrific record over C&D and could go well on his return. The former Paul Nicholls-trained Balding Banker will have learned plenty from his chasing bow at Hexham but LOCKED IN THEPOCKET may prove the pick of the weights. He just failed to overhaul Accordingtoscript over this trip over hurdles at Newcastle two weeks ago and races off a lower mark over fences
