Verdict
Not many of these can be given a serious chance. But top weight DONT DO MONDAYS has decent claims in this company after finishing third to Lord Navits at Leicester on his chasing debut. The latter has since gone on to land a hat-trick so the form looks solid enough and David Bridgewater's charge gets the nod. Mia's Vic made the frame at Sedgefield on his first start for a new yard and has a chance along with chasing debutant Whispering Bob. Sherreb has plenty of experience over fences though he's yet to threaten and Bobbits Way makes more appeal as he was still in contention when falling over these fences back in December.
