In depth
Verdict
Fubar will likely be near the head of the market again but always seems to find a way of getting beat. It’s almost two years since Ronava last ran over hurdles and he’s not getting any younger while Ardera Cross is also better known as a chaser. Celtic Flames has also done mots of his winning over the larger obstacles but he has been successful here in the past and will enjoy any give in the ground. A mistake at the second-last knocked the stuffing out of PAMMI here last month. She’d travelled strongly to that point and is probably still on a decent mark.
