In depth
Verdict
The Tin Miner is in the veteran stage now and was pulled up behind El Hageb Rose here in November. San Pedro is penalised for winning at Lingfield but had finished ahead of Concrete King previously at Fontwell so goes on the shortlist. One For The Wall hasn’t shown much over hurdles this season but did place in a chase in December when 5lb higher. ABINGWORTH looked to be coming to hand when third last time at Fontwell and a further step up in trip could see him open his account.
