Verdict
The usual mix of jumpers and moderate Flat performers contest this Charity event including the once-brilliant champion chaser Newmill, who is now 15. Director's Forum, Drumlister and ROCKYABOYA have all been in form over jumps and for those who wish to get involved it's the latter who gets the vote.
