In depth
Verdict
MONKERTY TUNKERTY jumped with real enthusiasm on his reappearance at Bangor until lack of condition told. If he attacks these fences in the same manner, Jessica Westwood's useful pointer will soon have a few of these in trouble and Josh Guerriero's mount should last a lot longer out in front today. Deireadh Re hasn't lived up to expectations so far over fences and faces a stiff task at the weights but Satou has gone well here in the past and has been knocking on the door again lately while Very Stylish returned to form at Ffos Las in October and is still on a decent mark. Dashing George is a C&D winner and couldn't be ruled out while Relax was on a good run before his jumping let him down at Musselburgh - though he has a bit prove at this level.
