Verdict

It’s a while since Marracudja got his head in front and he’s probably still a few pounds too high. Just Cameron also faces a stiff task at the weights while Theinval fell at the first at Cheltenham last time. ROCK ON ROCKY hails from an unfashionable yard but was back on song at Cheltenham last month and has been dropped a pound since. Jamie Bargary also takes a handy 3lb off Matt Shepherd’s charge, who is more than capable of making his presence felt off bottom weight. Duke Of Navan may well reverse Aintree form with Baby King on better terms but is difficult to win with. Overtown Express loves the mud and conditions may not be testing enough on his first run since February.
