Verdict
Banny's Lad has been well beaten twice since scoring by 12 lengths over course and distance in February off a 9lb lower mark. Oscatara is starting to slip down the weights so could be interesting and Quick Brew has had a recent pipe-opener over hurdles. Christmas Twenty appeared to be moving with purpose when making a terrible mistake last time at Wetherby. He was a quickly pulled up but a clear round here could see him in the picture. NINE ALTARS has been a little unlucky so far over the larger obstacles and may finally get his head in front today.
