In depth
Verdict
Another weak affair can go to Jorodama King who has not ben in the best of form of late but will be hard to beat if able to reproduce the same level of form that saw him finish runner-up at Bangor in September. The booking of Tony McCoy is an obvious bonus. Suez Tornado was soundly beaten when last seen out under Rules while Mrs Sherman has been equally disappointing of late so the main danger may lie with Fate A Compli who has winning form in point-to-points but has not ben seen since pulled up at Market Rasen over a year ago.
