In depth
Verdict
Plenty of in form horses, in a what looks a strongly contested event with the top weight rated 126. Hunters Tweed, who enjoyed a fruitful first season over hurdles, has struggled this term and still looks to high in the handicap. Deep Water would make them all go if back to his best, but is arguably better over the minimum trip. Indalo has done nothing but improve and lost nothing in defeat at Aintree behind the well handicapped Ravenswood. He looks sure to take a lot of beating. Top Buck is progressing nicely and it would come as no surprise if he was concerned in the finish.
