In depth
Verdict
Very little to go on and we will nominate Lord Killenshanra to take the race at the expense of Honan, Gold Again and Karoo. Lord Killenshanra finished second to Paul Nicholls' well regarded Quid Pro Quo last time out and in the lack of any other worthwhile form on offer, we shall side with the father and son team of Colin and Joe Tizzard to take the second division. Honan ran in a decent Leopardstown bumper on debut and wasn't too far behind two well regarded individuals in Supreme Leisure and New Field. There could be more to come. Gold Again ran appallingly given his prohibitively short odds on debut at Huntingdon and simply cannot be as bad as that bare form suggests. Karoo looks a typically stout National Hunt bred for Paul Nicholls and should come on for this run. Guthrie never showed in a stronger race at Haydock. Lord Killenshanra is given the nod although the market is watched with regard to the remainder.
