Verdict
Invincible Cave is a strong stayer and initiated a double in November when scoring over 3m1f on this track so this looks on the short side. Winning point-to-pointer Fleck Ivy has been lightly-raced under Rules but ran well for a long way when sent to Catterick last month. Clondaw Robin was beaten 21 lengths into third over 2m1f here in January though should run into a place but Kapdad didn't get very far on his chasing debut at Leicester. TAZKA is moderate but pops up every now and then as he did at Fontwell in September. The ground was too soft on his next start and he didn't have the pace for a jumpers' bumper next time. Rostello has shown little since arriving from France and was beaten when unseating at Chepstow last time.
