Verdict
Sharpasaknife is two from three and showed a willing attitude to get the better of Birch Hill at Haydock last time. But the second let the form down on his next start while Florrie Boy steps up a grade off a 9lb higher mark in search of a hat-trick, though has won his last two very easily. Shear Rock made giant strides in the autumn and has been waiting for this better ground, though an absence since October is a worry. BRAAVOS may be capable of better reunited with Richard Johnson. He won his bumper on good going under the champion-elect and has those conditions for the first time over hurdles today. Neither One For Harry nor Tap Night are particularly reliable and Landecker has been struggling to land a blow off his current mark lately.
