Verdict
LUCKY ROBIN is not guaranteed to get his own way out in front here but arrives in peak form having won his last two over hurdles – he is rated much lower over fences. Isaac Wonder doesn’t really have a chasing pedigree but was placed three times over hurdles and has won on the Flat. Precious Bounty may have needed the run at Stratford two weeks ago while Mac Cennetig won at Market Rasen on his chasing bow, though will carry overweight in this.
