Verdict
Despite a penalty, Pumboo should have no problem confirming Uttoxeter running with the one-paced Alfloramoor. Be Ashored had a poor strike rate over hurdles but could be interesting tackling fences for the first time, though there are a couple that make more appeal in this. It's A Date was very lightly-raced over timber and is started off at a realistic level over the larger obstacles but we just prefer SAMBELUCKY. Keith Reveley's gelding was second off a higher mark over hurdles at Huntingdon in March and has always looked the type to do better over fences - he gets the nod.
