In depth
Verdict
It usually pays to go with the yards who do well in these contests and with that in mind Ashleybank House, Kids Inheritance and Tom Fruit look to be three worth most consideration. Len Lungo's yard do extremely well in bumpers and so Ashleybank House is very much respected after a pipe opener, but the best form we have here is that of Tom Fruit and he is taken to get it right at the third attempt.
